Donors Forum: Fall 2024
The Donors Forum of Northeast Florida works to promote and strengthen philanthropy in our region by inspiring individual philanthropists, donors and foundations to share their knowledge about philanthropy and community issues. Our fundholders, as well as representatives of private, corporate, independent and family foundations in Northeast Florida, are invited to learn about regional programs of philanthropic interest, discuss issues of mutual concern, and explore collaborative grantmaking opportunities.
