Onward: Leading With Courage at PEAK2025

Change begins with us, and each member of the PEAK community is an inherent leader. And we live in a moment that requires us to courageously lean into the headwinds that challenge us. To this, we say: Onward!

PEAK2025 is a call for our community to lead, to build on our momentum, and to constructively engage with our feelings of discomfort to transform philanthropy and dismantle systems that disenfranchise people throughout our nation. As individuals and as a collective, let’s lead with courage and boldly move toward a future where justice and equity prevail.

Be a part of this movement by cocreating the PEAK2025 program with us. We invite you to submit session proposals that will inform and inspire grants professionals to become activated change agents in philanthropy and lean into the headwinds that challenge us.

Download our call for proposals guide to learn more about the convening theme, session tracks, session types, and innovative ways we'll be learning together. We’re eager to lift up stories and insights from across the PEAK community that explore ways members are leaning into each of our Principles to move from transactional to transformational leaders in the sector.

The deadline to submit proposals is September 17 by 11:59 p.m. PT.

To learn more, register to join our information session on August 28 at 3:00 p.m. ET and open office hour on September 10 at 12:00 p.m. ET.
