The Funders Panel

An hour 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, November 20, 2026, noon to 1:00 pm Eastern. One hour.
• 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. We do not announce who in advance. You find out in the room.
• 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, and the session link delivered the moment checkout completes.
• Recorded. Every session is recorded. Your seat includes the recording, the documents, and a written readout afterward, so you can revisit the hour or share it inside your organization. We also use what we learn across sessions to shape future ones.
