Community Foundations for Civic Health: Reflections, Insights & Next Steps

Join us for a virtual follow-up to the Community Foundations for Civic Health convening in Chicago. This webinar will bring together participants from the in-person gathering and other interested community foundation leaders to reflect on key themes, share insights, and explore actionable next steps in strengthening civic health across our communities.

Community Foundations for Civic Health – an initiative led by CFLeads, the Rhode Island Foundation, the National Civic League, and partners – is committed to increasing the number of community foundations confidently and effectively engaging in civic health work. Strong civic health means stronger communities: better health outcomes, higher employment, and increased resilience in the face of challenges.

In this session, we’ll revisit the key takeaways from Chicago, lift up promising practices from peers, and look ahead to upcoming opportunities for collaboration and support.

Why Civic Health?

We believe civic health is the backbone of thriving communities. It’s about the strength of our civic infrastructure: the relationships between people, between institutions, and with the places we call home.When civic health is strong, communities see better outcomes across the board – from improved physical health and employment rates to greater resilience during crises. When it’s weak, divisions deepen, and trust erodes.This convening is your opportunity to connect with peers, learn from national experts, and walk away with ideas and strategies to move this work forward in your community.
