Celebrating 30 Years of Impact!
Join your peers in lean philanthropy for 3 days of knowledge sharing, skill building, and connections—in Portland, Oregon! This event is designed for and by lean funders—those who give with few or no staff. Here, you can let your guard down and talk about the problems affecting the causes and communities you care about most with those who can relate.
At the conference, you’ll find sessions that share the how-tos of:
- Catalytic philanthropy
- Equity-centered practices
- The fundamentals of foundation management that make work like this possible
- … and more!

Become a Super Connector!
Help us continue to make the Exponent conference the “friendliest” conference of all. Invite people to sit with you, find the people standing alone, either embrace your natural extroverted self or (like many) force yourselves into extroversion, the Super Connectors have the best time by warmly welcoming others.
