SUMMARY:Neighborhood Revitalization for Community Foundations: How to Prevent Displacement & Create Prosperity
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, hundreds of U.S. neighborhoods have increased prosperity while preventing displacement – demonstrating that inclusive growth is possible when leaders implement the right strategies. In this webinar\, Common Good Labs will share a national\, data-driven perspective on what thriving communities did differently and what those lessons mean for community foundations working to advance economic mobility. \nRhett Morris of Common Good Labs and the Brookings Institution will highlight research from hundreds of successful neighborhoods\, surface patterns that distinguish opportunity-rich communities\, and offer actionable insights that foundations can apply locally. The session will also introduce a follow-up\, hands-on workshop opportunity where all community foundations (particularly in medium to larger cities) will receive customized city- and neighborhood-level data and collaborate on evidence-based strategies tailored to their communities. \n\nWebinar Details\n\nDate: March 18\, 2026\nTime: 2 – 3 p.m. Eastern\nRegistration: Click HERE

SUMMARY:Community Foundations for Civic Health: Reflections\, Insights & Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:Community Foundations for Civic Health: Reflections\, Insights & Next Steps\nJoin 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. \nCommunity 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. \nIn 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. \nWebinar Details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, November 19\, 2025\nTime: 2 – 3 p.m. Eastern\nRegistration: Register HERE\n\nWho\nThis webinar is designed for community foundation CEOs and/or one other senior member of your staff who is leading civic health work (or who is likely to be part of future work). \nWhy Civic Health?\nWe 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. \n \n

SUMMARY:The Gathering 2025
DESCRIPTION:About the Gathering\nFollowing the successful inaugural Gathering in 2024 in Atlanta\, CFLeads is thrilled to announce the next Gathering designed for African American Community Foundation CEOs\, taking place on October 19-21\, 2025 in Amelia Island\, FL. \nThe Gathering is an essential\, safe space for African American community foundation leaders to authentically share their lived experiences\, connect\, reflect\, and collaborate on the opportunities and challenges facing the field today.For the 2025 Gathering\, we chose Amelia Island as our convening space not just because it’s a beautiful place\, but because it’s a location steeped in profound Black history. It is home to American Beach\, founded by Abraham Lincoln Lewis\, Florida’s first African American millionaire\, as a haven for African American families during segregation. Florida also holds the legacy of the first Underground Railroad\, where enslaved people escaped south to freedom\, not north. \nWe hope you can join us for this impactful Gathering. This year\, the group will explore the theme\, Riding the Waves of Change. Register today for this special occasion filled with inspiration\, support\, and the opportunity to create a strong network in an ever-changing philanthropic ecosystem. \nMore details regarding the agenda and the booking link for the Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa hotel will be shared soon. In the meantime\, please mark your calendars and prepare for an enriching and uplifting experience. \nThank you to our 2025 Sponsors!\n \nHotel Information\nThe 2025 Gathering will be hosted at The Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Strong\, ongoing connections between residents\, robust relationships between people and public institutions\, and positive attachments between citizens and the places they live are highly correlated with a range of positive outcomes\, from better physical health to higher employment rates to better resilience in the face of natural disasters. \nCivic health is based on the quality of civic opportunities and the strength of civic infrastructure. When these supports are weak\, people of different backgrounds and political perspectives are less likely to communicate or work together\, which exacerbates partisan polarization. \nWe look forward to partnering with you on this critical work.
