On May 6-8, 2024, VFN will host its 3rd annual conference at the Omni Hotel in Richmond, Virginia. With nearly 250 philanthropy executives, trustees, and staff members from across the Commonwealth expected to be in attendance, this event is one of the largest gatherings of Virginia’s philanthropic community. 

The 2024 conference theme: Stronger Together: Collective Action, Collective Impact was carefully crafted to build and advance VFN’s vision, mission, and values statements. The agenda intentionally focuses on how philanthropy can work together and across sectors to advance opportunities for all who call Virginia home.
