NFG’s Integrated Rural Strategies Group (IRSG) is excited to invite you to join us for our fifth annual flagship event – the 2025 Rural Equity Summit!
Launched in 2020, this annual gathering has become a vibrant space for building connections, sparking action, and deepening our commitment to rural equity. It is more clear than ever that philanthropy must reach, connect with, and support rural communities. These communities are a necessary key to unlocking a path to a true multiracial democracy. And in the immediacy, these communities – specifically tribal and Indigenous, immigrant, POC, and LGBTQ+ individuals in rural areas – demand our support and resource to protect their safety and dignity while they hold the line on hard earned wins.
Join us at the Summit virtually on the afternoons of March 4th-5th 2025, where we’ll explore how this network can step up in this moment.
If you’d like to help shape the program or have ideas for what you’d love to see, please reach out—we’d love your input as we bring this Summit to life! Maybe you:
- Have a grantee or two that you’d love to see featured as a speaker;
- Hope to organize other funders to invest in a specific place, campaign, or issue; or
- Seek space for peer learning around moving money to local-level rural organizing.
What do you want to share, learn, and organize toward? Let us know!
Reach out to Lindsay at lindsay@nfg.org so we can hear your thoughts and discuss how to plug you in to the Summit.
Note: This event is for funders and invited community partners and registrations will be reviewed accordingly.
