I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text...The Sacramento Region Community Foundation’s Philanthropy Summit returns September 15, 2026, bringing together nonprofit professionals, board members, donors, and community leaders for a full day of learning, connection, and celebration at Cal Expo.In this NewsPod, I talk with Kelly Siefkin, Chief Philanthropy Officer at the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, about what attendees can expect from the third annual Summit and why the event continues to grow.Approximately 500 attendees are expected this year, with expanded capacity at the Cal Expo Expo Center after previous Summits reached capacity. The day will feature educational breakout sessions, opportunities to connect with organizations and supporters from across the region, lunch, plenary sessions, and the Foundation’s longstanding Celebration of Generosity to close out the day.Among this year’s highlights is a session on Leading Through Change, along with keynote speaker Cherian Koshy, author of Neurogiving, who will explore the psychology of philanthropy; why people give, what motivates generosity, and how nonprofits can build more meaningful relationships with donors.2026 Philanthropy SummitTuesday, September 15, 20269:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.Cal ExpoSacramento, CaliforniaFree parking is available.Ticket availability is limited and the event will sell out.
