Summit on Philanthropy

Celebrating philanthropy in our community

Tuesday, November 2, 2021 | VBC North Hall | 700 Monroe Street, Huntsville, AL

The annual Summit on Philanthropy gala is a celebration of our community's collective generosity. We believe that together we can accomplish more than any one person, one company, or one organization can accomplish on their own and together we strive to improve quality of life for all who call Greater Huntsville "home."

The Summit on Philanthropy will follow CDC guidance. For information regarding the Community Foundation's COVID assumption of risk policy, click here.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER | PETER KAGEYAMA

sponsored by Facebook

Keynote speaker Peter Kageyama is the author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places, and the follow ups, Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places and The Emotional Infrastructure of Places.

In 2021, he released For the Love of Cities REVISITED, an updated version of the award winning book which explores the significant relationship between local economic growth and feelings of passion and loyalty among community residents.

As a sought-after community development consultant and grassroots engagement strategist, he speaks all over the world about bottom-up community development and the amazing people who are making change happen.

Peter shares how the mutual love affair between people and their places can be one of the most powerful influences in our lives. As he helps identify and inspire an emotional love for 'home,' his strategies play a key role in defining the future direction of our cities.

Love this community? We do, too. Together we navigated the unanticipated challenges of 2020 to emerge stronger than ever.

We hope you will join us for Summit on Philanthropy 2021 as Peter Kageyama celebrates the unique beauty, creativity, and generosity that makes Greater Huntsville our 'home.'
