Black Women in Philanthropy is more than just an event—it's a sacred space dedicated to the nourishment of body, mind, and spirit where the power of community, leadership, and radical rest converge to create an unparalleled experience of renewal and growth.

This retreat welcomes Black women leaders across philanthropy, including:
