On April 28-30, 2025, VFN hosted its 4th annual conference at the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Virginia. 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.
The 2025 conference theme, Stronger Together: Building Bridges, Empowering Change, was designed to reinforce and advance VFN’s vision, mission, and values. The agenda intentionally focused on how philanthropy can work together—across sectors—to expand opportunities for all who call Virginia home.
