About the Event
The 2025 Community Foundation Staff Retreat is designed to provide the perfect blend of structured learning, informal sharing, and networking opportunities to allow participants to build meaningful, lasting connections while gaining valuable insights that will empower their work in the community.
An exceptional line-up of speakers, including field experts, community partners and your peers, will offer insight into relevant topics and explore areas of interest more deeply. This is an opportunity for staff in roles like Program/Community Investment, Fund Development, Scholarship, Communications, and Finance/Operations to come together. However, all community foundation staff in Michigan, regardless of their role, are welcome to participate if they are interested in the content. The retreat agenda will be available in March.
Please note that this program is exclusively for community foundation staff.
Thanks to the generous support from the Community Foundation Endowment, we’re pleased to offer a registration fee of just $150 for this event. We are not able to provide additional discounts or bundle pricing.
