NonProfit NewsPod: Philanthropy Summit 2026 - Connect, Communicate and Celebrate With Peers.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Please send me a text... The Sacramento Region Community Foundation’s third annual Philanthropy Summit is coming to Cal Expo on September 15 , and if the first two years are any indication, you’ll want to make plans early. I’m joined by Kelly Siefkin, Chief Philanthropy Officer at the Sacramento Region Community Foundation , for a NewsPod update on what attendees can expect from this year’s gathering. The Summit brings together nonprofit professionals, donors, board members, community leaders and people who simply want to make a greater impact in our region. This year’s program includes nine breakout sessions , extensive networking opportunities and a keynote from Cherian Koshy , author of NeuroGiving , exploring the psychology and science behind why people give. Kelly also highlights sessions focused on strengthening nonprofit boards, understanding more sophisticated charitable giving opportunities, and building the kinds of collaborative relationships that can help organizations create greater community impact. The day concludes with the Celebration of Generosity , recognizing the extraordinary giving, volunteering and community involvement taking place throughout the Sacramento region. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from our conversation is the importance of connection . The Summit has grown each year because people throughout the nonprofit and philanthropic community are looking for opportunities to meet one another, learn from one another and find new ways to work together. If you’re planning to attend, don’t wait too long. Previous Summits have sold out and generated waiting lists, and this year’s larger venue reflects just how much interest continues to grow.
