Washington, DC, June 13-18, 2012

When the Adventures Arrive in DC

The project aims to provide local New Givers and their supporters:

• Local media coverage highlighting your impact on the community.
• A 4-hour facilitated and lightly structured open space Summit (Saturday, June 16) to build the local community and map out strengths, opportunities and needs.
• Web storytelling for the national public. We’ll collect images, video and text to share the impact of New Giving on the DC metro area.

The plan

• Local New Giving Mini-Summit
• When: Saturday, June 16 1-5pm
• Where, Southwest Library, 900 Wesley Place SW, Washington, DC 20024 (very close to Waterfront Metro stop)
• Connect and share the event on Facebook.
• Who should come: people involved in giving circles, crowdfunding entrepreneurs & other philanthropy innovators, people who want to start or join a New Giving project, fundraisers who want to learn about New Giving, traditional funders who want to learn about New Giving and share their experience.

• Learn more about the Summit plan here.
