CKCF held its Affiliate Summit March 6th at the Sand Creek Event Center in Newton. The event brought together board members, staff, and community members from 17 (out of 19) affiliate community foundations.
Attendees enjoyed learning from two exceptional speakers: Cari Cullen from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), and Mike Lamb, EMBA, CFRE. Both speakers provided invaluable insights with dynamic presentations on disaster preparedness, resiliency, and legacy gifts. Their sessions highlighted how crucial planned gifts are for organizational missions and that aligned perfectly with the goals of this funding.
We are thrilled with the positive feedback from attendees and the impact that the summit is already having on preparedness and donor engagement within their foundations. The knowledge gained from this event will undoubtedly continue to benefit the foundations and their communities in the months and years ahead. Information from the summit can be found ONLINE.
