No audio is playing. PEAK 2024 Seattle March 18-20 is in white text over an earthy blue backdrop of the Seattle skyline. The Space Needle is on the far left and the Seattle Great Wheel spins on the far right with buildings in between. A yellow sun peeks out from the top left corner with three clouds. Hawks fly on the top right near the wheel and a tree. There is slight animation throughout the video.

Reimagining: It’s what we’ll do together at PEAK2024

Join us this March as we continue our collective emergent learning journey toward more equitable and effective grantmaking practices. The PEAK community can be a beacon that guides philanthropy forward. Join colleagues in Seattle (or online) to reimagine the possibilities as we lead the way as change agents in transforming the sector.

We anticipate reaching capacity in the coming weeks. So, if you’d like to join us in Seattle, we recommend reserving your place (and your hotel room) without delay.

OPENING KEYNOTE

Reimagining People-Centered Philanthropy

To challenge philanthropy’s status quo, Edgar Villanueva and Vu Le will frankly explore pathways to evolving the sector, how money can be used as a tool of love and restoration, and what the world would look like if philanthropy reimagined how it manifests its love of humanity.

MIDWEEK KEYNOTE

Reimagining Persistence

In this panel discussion, three sector leaders—Walter & Elise Haas Fund’s Jamie Allison, Philanthropy Northwest’s Jill Nishi, and Native Americans in Philanthropy’s Erik Stegman—will speak about both the strategies and tactics grants professionals can use to lead from where they sit to guide their organizations in recalibrating their approach to and doubling down on racial equity.

CLOSING KEYNOTE

Reimagining Leadership

In this conversation between CEOs and grants management directors of grantmaking organizations, PEAK’s Satonya Fair, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Allison Gister, Carnegie Corporation of New York’s Roland Kennedy, Jr., and Skillman Foundation’s Angelique Power will share how they have been working on themselves as individuals and taken control of their professional development and careers in order to lead their organizations’ transformations.
