Reductions in federal funding and social services have created immense challenges for the nonprofit sector. How are limited life foundations, and those considering spending down, responding?

Have foundations reconsidered their grantmaking strategies or adjusted other core practices? For those already on the path to spend down, has the current situation affected their spend down timeline or process?

Learn from the Strategic Lifespan Peer Network co-chairs—Priscilla Enriquez, Kate Ritter Repen, and Anne Marie Toccket—as they share how their foundations are “meeting the moment” from a limited lifespan perspective.

Program attendees are encouraged to share about how their own grantmaking or operations may have changed to support their nonprofit partners.

Join the conversation as we make sense of this evolving moment together.
