The 2017 Convening was one of FCCP’s most successful to date, with several long-time members remarking that this was the best one yet. A record 163 funders – 36% were first-time attendees – joined us for three days of dynamic and thought-provoking discussions with a strong centering around equity, inclusion and intersectionality. Energy was high throughout as everyone embraced a spirit of community, fun and a passion for tackling the challenging questions facing our democracy.
