The 2026 Grantmakers Mid-Year Check-In: What's Held, What's Shifted, and What's Next

The beginning of 2026 brought real uncertainty for foundation leaders — a funding landscape in flux, grantee partners under real pressure, and a sector still finding its footing. Six months in, which assumptions have held, which haven’t, and are the questions foundation leaders are grappling with now different from the ones they started the year with?

On June 17 at 12:00 PM ET, we're bringing global foundation leaders together for a candid conversation about how the year is unfolding. They'll share where they’ve changed tack, where they’re holding the course, and what they're hearing from grantee applicants, donors, and partners on the ground, as they head into the second half of the year.

Whether you're recalibrating, or feeling confident in your funder journey, this peer led conversation will give you insights and action plans on where colleagues in your sector are landing for the rest of 2026.

You'll hear:

Where early assumptions about 2026 have held, and where funders have had to adjust course
What foundations are hearing from grantees on the ground, and how that's shaping decisions heading into the second half of the year
How funders are approaching strategy, collaboration, and community relationships when the landscape keeps shifting

The 2026 Grantmakers Kickoff: Navigating Uncertainty, Finding Solutions

The 2026 Grantmakers Kickoff: Navigating Uncertainty, Finding Solutions Sector Education Webinar February 11, 2026 | 9 am PT / 12 pm ET (60 minutes) As 2026 gets underway, the pressure on grantmakers is intensifying. Reduced public funding, shifting policies, grantee partners facing existential pressures, and community needs that outpace available resources are reshaping the funding environment, asking funders to do more, and do it faster, amid growing uncertainty. Yet these challenges also present real opportunities for organizations ready to adapt, rethink approaches, and learn from one another. On February 11, we’ll be joined by senior leaders from corporate, community and private and family foundations for a candid conversation about what lies ahead. They’ll share insights on the priorities they’re setting for the year, the uncertainties they’re actively navigating, and how they’re building resilience into their grantmaking programs. You’ll leave with fresh peer insights on navigating 2026, and practical ideas to apply in your own work, along with the reassurance you’re part of a community tackling these challenges together.
