The biennial Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conference is the premier event for philanthropic leaders to learn, connect, and ultimately improve their practice of philanthropy. We host this conference because we believe effective funders, working collaboratively and thoughtfully, can profoundly contribute to creating a better and more just world. 

We tailor our conference to leaders and key decision makers: our attendees are senior foundation leaders, program officers, trustees, philanthropic advisors, and major donors from across the country and around the globe.  

CEP2025 is sold out!
We have also closed our waitlist.

Please note that because we internally curate our conference program, which is now nearly finalized, we are no longer accepting unsolicited session proposals or speaker suggestions. Thank you for your understanding.
