August is Black Philanthropy Month!
In honor of Black Philanthropy Month, join the Philanthropy Club on Tuesday, August 2 to hear from professionals working in consulting, grantmaking, frontline fundraising, marketing, and communications. Our panelists will share general career advice for those either starting out in philanthropy or who would like to take their career to the next level. The event will include a 15-minute panel discussion and breakout rooms will be available for each career so that you can engage with each panelist in a smaller environment. Please bring your questions about career advancement and be ready to network.
Please note that the Philanthropy Club of Illinois is a safe space for learning and peer networking. We request that attendees refrain from direct or indirect solicitations of any funders who may participate in Philanthropy Club sessions. The Philanthropy Club reserves the right to remove attendees who do not adhere to this policy.
