The Funders Panel

Ninety minutes with the people on the other side of the application, answering the questions nonprofits rarely get to ask out loud: what gets read, what gets funded, and what quietly takes a proposal out of contention.

• When. Friday, December 18, 2026, noon to 1:30 pm Eastern. Ninety minutes.
• Practice area. Foundations & family philanthropy, one of the eight practice areas at JP Davis Partners.
• Who it is for. Executive directors, development leads, board chairs, and the staff who carry the work between meetings.
• Guest experts. Sessions are joined by invited guest experts.
• Seating. This is a panel, and it is not capped. Everyone who wants the room gets it.
• What your seat includes. Live participation with questions. Your seat is confirmed at checkout, and the join details appear in your members area ahead of the session.
• Recorded. Every session is recorded. Your seat includes the recording, the documents, and a written readout afterward, so you can revisit the session or share it inside your organization. We also use what we learn across sessions to shape future ones.
