Join Exponent Philanthropy, The McCrory Foundation, The Priddy Foundation, Community Foundation of Ardmore, and Philanthropy Southwest for a welcoming in-person gathering to network, learn, and share with your fellow lean funders from across Ardmore and beyond! You’ll get the opportunity to discover what your colleagues are working on, explore ways to collaborate for greater impact, and seek advice from colleagues on challenges you may be facing in your work.
As a special bonus, Nick Gelona, the executive director of the Jerome Westheimer Center for the Performing Arts, will kick off the gathering with a brief behind-the-scenes tour. He’ll share how philanthropy and public investment brought the center to life.
We hope to see you there!
About Regional Gatherings
In 2026, Exponent Philanthropy is continuing to collaborate with members, partners, and peer organizations across the country to host Regional Gatherings. These in-person events bring leanly staffed funders together to network and learn together, while providing an opportunity for Exponent staff to visit with members and our colleagues in their communities. Through these gatherings, we deepen our understanding of members’ work and goals and identify meaningful ways to support and amplify their efforts for outsized impact.
Eligible to attend
Exponent Philanthropy members, partners, and guests.
Accessibility
The Jerome Westheimer Center for the Performing Arts is fully ADA compliant. It shares a parking lot with the high school football stadium, so there is ample parking with plenty of handicap spots available.
Thank you to our co-hosts!
