… More about ABFE’s 2012 Conference

The theme this year is “Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities – Mobilizing Our Resources for Impact”. From our vantage point, our greatest resource is you, the people who support our communities using their time, talent, and/or treasure. As a result, we have designed several days of training on strategic giving for Black communities, coaching to reinforce and expand the transformational leader that you are, and workshops to highlight initiatives that show promise for Black communities across the US.

This is not just for funders!!! Our 2012 program is designed for funders, donors and practitioners alike, as well as anyone who is interested in contributing in the truest meaning of philanthropy to his or her community. We understand that philanthropy is cultural, and ours is a rich tradition of giving. New to the program this year will be organized discussions with Black foundation trustees, individual donors and civic /fraternal organizations; these groups will join conversations with our primary audience – Black foundation executives.
