The biennial community foundations conference will take place May 27-29, 2025 in Kjipuktuk | Halifax.

What will philanthropy look like in 10 years? What will it look like in 5? What about in just one year from today? Philanthropy, like the rest of the world, continues to shift; we are grappling with growing climate crisis, community division, (un)affordability and many other major issues. These aren’t new topics, yet new solutions are being brought to the table.

Join philanthropic leaders from coast to coast to coast and around the world to continue the conversation at Illuminate 2025.

WHERE

We will gather at the Halifax Convention Centre for two days, to learn from each other and develop strategies and skills to better serve our communities. Illuminate 2025 will go beyond the bounds of the conference centre, giving you connections and perspectives to grow your leadership and your organization’s impact. 

WHO

Are you a private or community foundation looking to further your impact? A philanthropic organization hoping to make connections? A social purpose organization or charity? This is the place for you!
