Looking Ahead

As we look towards 2025, NationSwell will step into the new year with three key themes to inform our programming agenda: looking ahead, the impact imperative, and community & connection. This agenda will continue to grow and evolve – so be sure to visit events.nationswell.com for additional details, updates, and more opportunities to convene.

Featured Event: EJI Immersive
Montgomery, Alabama | March 5-7, 2025

Building upon our inaugural experience last year, join an amazing and intimate group of fellow funders, grantees, scholars, and advocates, as together we delve into Legacy Sites, curated by Equal Justice Initiative, and connect to our past. We’ll engage in reflection and conversation – on our own, and with each other. We’ll connect, explore and workshop as a group of senior leaders to imagine a better future – and how we might each take our work to the next level, individually and collectively. Contact [email protected] to learn more.
