The 2016 Philanthropy Institute will be May 25-27, 2016 at Catamaran Resort & Spa Hotel, San Diego, CA. Native Americans in Philanthropy will support the pipeline of Native philanthropy leaders and provide philanthropic expertise; create issue-driven partnerships and deepen existing relationships within networks; educate mainstream philanthropy on funding inequities and how they can be a part of community-based solutions; and inform foundation staff about pressing Native issues and ways to advocate for Native-led solutions.

This year's conference theme is "Raising Impact with Native Voices." The conference planning committee is seeking session proposals for inclusion in the conference program with specific interest around the topics of Civic Engagement, Advocacy, Economic Development, and Professional Development.
