2026 Annual Meeting Recap

The GCRI Annual Meeting on October 23, 2026, at CIC Providence drew 76 GCRI members and other leaders from Rhode Island’s philanthropic community, who spent the morning reconnecting with colleagues, hearing from a national leader in philanthropy, and reflecting on questions about directions for our field. Phil Buchanan offered us a deeper understanding of this period of crisis and how funders can help our communities reimagine the future. La Poetera Sussy Santana guided us in giving voice to our thoughts and reflections on the topic.

We express our gratitude to attendees, volunteers, presenters, sponsors and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible!
