On April 28-30, 2025, VFN will host its 4th annual conference at the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia. Last year, nearly 300 philanthropy executives, trustees, and staff members from across the Commonwealth gathered for our sold-out event, making it one of the largest gatherings in Virginia’s philanthropic community.
This year, we look forward to welcoming even more attendees as we come together to connect, collaborate, and drive meaningful change.
The 2025 conference theme, Stronger Together: Building Bridges, Empowering Change, is designed to reinforce and advance VFN’s vision, mission, and values. The agenda will focus on how philanthropy can work together—across sectors—to expand opportunities for all who call Virginia home.
