The 9th Annual South Sound Philanthropy Summit
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m
CFRE Credits: 5
How do we harness this pivotal time? How do we best support our nonprofit organizations in their missions, while feeding our own souls, in what has been a continuous struggle for funding and equity? The 2021 South Sound Philanthropy Summit will continue the discussions from 2020 with national experts in social justice, a South Sound panel, and a workshop style session. The attendees will come away inspired, grounded in local context, and with tactical methods to tackle creating or building upon a planned giving program.
Format:
The Summit in 2021 will again be hosted in a virtual Town Hall setting over a half day program.
Keynotes:
Be inspired by nationally best-selling author of “Decolonizing Wealth”, and a globally-recognized expert on social justice philanthropy, Edgar Villanueva. Edgar will be joined by C’Ardiss “CC” Gardner Gleser. CC also recognized nationally for her work with nonprofits focused on equity and is now based locally in Seattle.

Leave 10 Initiative Launch:
Over the next 10 years, $48.6 billion will transfer between generations – $482 billion over the next 50 years. This provides an opportunity for transformative philanthropic investments into our community through estate gifts. Greater Tacoma Community Foundation’s 2020 “Transfer of Wealth Study” sets the stage for the Leave 10 South Sound Initiative. Join us for an overview on the Transfer of Wealth Data and its implication for your organization, an introduction to the Leave 10 South Sound Initiative and an opportunity to discuss in small affinity groups, how you could use the tools in the Leave 10 Tool Kit to advance your organization’s planned giving program. Professional Advisors will also obtain resources to help them advance their conversations with clients regarding charitable estate planning.
