Call for Proposal Reviewers
2025 Annual Conference | November 11-13, 2025 | Columbus, OH
We invite Exponent Philanthropy members to serve as reviewers of the Annual Conference Call for Sessions. As a reviewer, you will work alongside the Exponent Philanthropy Programs & Services Committee to evaluate proposals received through this year’s call for sessions.
We welcome individuals from member foundations who represent a variety of roles and experience levels to join in the review.
Session Review Schedule
The Call for Sessions runs through February 27. The size of your review docket will depend upon how many proposals we receive in total but will not exceed 40 sessions.
| March 11 | Begin review, up to 4-5 hours of work |
| March 25 | Complete review |
| March 31 | Voluntary conference call to discuss sessions |
After March 25, Exponent Philanthropy staff will continue an internal review, notifying submitters of the decisions by the end of April.
What You Will Review
Reviewers will examine a finite number of proposals and recommend sessions that are most relevant to the Exponent Philanthropy audience and meet the following criteria:
- Provide participants with practical guidance and take-aways.
- Address one of the indicated topic areas below.
- Incorporate participant interaction as a learning method.
The committee will review session proposals name-blind, that is, solely on the strength of the proposal in meeting the criteria, adding brief comments for each proposal.
