2007 Fall Conference for Community Foundations

The title of the 2007 Council on Foundations community foundations conference, ‘Eureka! Learn, Lead, and Grow’, and the content of the sessions, indicates a marked shift in the tone of such events, away from the nuts and bolts of grantmaking to the need for community foundations to exercise community leadership. The conference, held in San Francisco 16-19 September, drew a record 1,818 participants and covered virtually all aspects of community foundation work, but the theme of leadership underlay most of the discussion.
