Attendee Profile: The 2022 Collective Impact Action Summit is a field-wide gathering that will attract a range of attendees, including funders, backbone leaders, collective impact partners, researchers, technical assistance providers, and others interested in collective impact. We anticipate that attendees will have different issue areas of interest (e.g., education, health, economic development, community development) and varying levels of experience in collective impact (e.g., early, mid, late stages).

Guidance for Funders: Funder registration is open to all staff and trustees of grantmaking institutions; staff of philanthropy-supporting infrastructure groups such as regional associations of grantmakers and affinity groups; and staff of academic institutions focused primarily on the study of philanthropy and the practice of giving. All registered funders will have access to attend a funder pre-conference dialogue for no additional charge. 

No Solicitation Policy: The 2022 Collective Impact Action Summit seeks to bring together a wide range of collective impact funders, backbone leaders, and other collective impact practitioners. To maintain the spirit of this unique meeting ground – where funders and other leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors come together as peers – we ask that you respect our "no solicitation" rule. Feel free to discuss the challenges and opportunities of collective impact, ask how other attendees are engaged in collective impact, and ask about what they are learning. However, we kindly ask that you do not ask funders about their funding priorities or pitch your organization/project to them.

SOLD OUT!  The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has created a scholarship fund for nonprofits based in the metropolitan Chicago region. Free registration is available to the first 30 registrants who are interested. The opportunity is limited to 2 individuals per organization. If you are interested, please contact Dulcy Kenner for information on how to register.

We offer a limited number of registrations for $50 for scholarship recipients. A few important notes about registration scholarships:

• The deadline to apply for a scholarship was February 25, 2022. 
• These scholarships cover a large portion of an individual's three-day registration cost.
• Scholarship priorities are to help subsidize registration for those whose organizational budgets are less than $500,000, or who are from an underrepresented group within nonprofit leadership. People of color, people who identify as women, people with disabilities, and people who identify on the LGBTQIA spectrum (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual) are encouraged to apply.
• Registration scholarships are intended for individual attendees, are not transferable to other attendees, and do not apply to multiple attendees from the same organization or community that are attending the convening together.
• We will notify all applicants on March 4, 2022, if they were selected to receive a reduced price registration scholarship.
• If you applied for a scholarship, please wait until after you hear back from us before proceeding with online registration. If you are not selected for a $50 reduced-price scholarship and still want to register to attend, we will honor the community-builder rate ($175) for those who apply for a scholarship with organizational budgets under $500,000 per year.
