Our conference will focus on issues of education, health, media and leadership. We also seek to encourage the participation of Black researchers and consultants in studying Black issues. The conference is to bring together foundation and corporate grant makers, philanthropists and Trustees and is open to all. We will also honor philanthropist Gail Snowden at a gala dinner discussing the legacy of Black philanthropy.
