Join us for our pre-convening session and opening reception
on Wednesday, September 4, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.,
hosted by Arkansas Black Philanthropy Collaborative,
Arkansas Asset Funders Network, and Arkansas Impact Philanthropy.

Arkansas is ripe for reform and ready for change. Any funder who cares about change in the US South should bring their attention and their resources to the state.

What I saw during my long tenure in the state is that the challenges are large, but so is the energy to create new and lasting solutions. And unlike many larger places, Arkansas is a place where it is possible to see real impact and go to scale.

This place is special. I invite you to pull up a chair and learn more as part of the front porch conversations.
