Develop Your Investing Skills as a Confluence Practitioner
Membership in the Practitioners' Program is open to organizations and individual donors who seek to deepen their investing practice by working collaboratively and strategically with other grantmakers. Practitioners have general clarity about their values aligned investing goals, as well as organizational support for—or a strong personal commitment to—those objectives.
Why Join the Practitioners' Program?
In addition to the services offered through Associate Investor Membership, Practitioners benefit from the enhanced services and engagement provided by increased membership. Practitioners join in a peer-to-peer community through which they can share knowledge, construct ideas, deepen best practices, and foster collaboration.
Practitioners’ Program Goals
- To build a community of experienced practitioners in values aligned investing
- To increase the capacity of Confluence practitioners through technical assistance, peer-to-peer learning, and collaboration
- To accelerate the field of mission-related investing by fostering systemic thinking, effective partnerships, and innovation within philanthropy
Practitioners are eligible to all the benefits of Associate Membership plus:
- Free registration in the Annual Practitioners Gathering for one foundation member and discounted participation for additional representatives
- A community of practice that shares costs in building and maintaining collaborative funds
- Participation in member-initiated projects, working groups, and learning cohorts
- Invitations to Practitioner-level learning and strategy meetings
