We'\;re excited to share that our request for session proposals for the Native Americans in Philanthropy 2027 Annual Conference (NAPCON27) is now open! The Annual Conference will take place at the Dena'\;ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage\, Alaska on May 25 - 27\, 2027. \;
\;
Our Annual Conference is NAP'\;s largest membership convening\, advancing our mission to build Indigenous leadership\, educate philanthropy and Native communities about each other\, and move more resources into Native communities.
For NAPCON27\, we'\;re calling for breakout session proposals that bring practical knowledge\, fresh ideas\, and real-world examples to the field of Indigenous-led philanthropy. Strong sessions will create meaningful opportunities for participants to learn from one another\, build skills they can put into practice\, and explore new approaches shaping the field. \; \; \; \; \; \; \;
\;
This year&rsquo\;s programming will explore some of the biggest questions and opportunities facing Indigenous-led philanthropy today\, from strengthening Native leadership and self-determination to rethinking how power and resources are shared\, deepening responsibilities to community\, and expanding where philanthropy looks for knowledge and innovation.
We welcome proposals from a range of facilitators\, including but not limited to: \;
- Tribal leaders
- Native professionals in philanthropy
- Non-Native leaders in philanthropy
- Native advocacy leaders
- Youth leaders
- Elders/knowledge keepers
- Artists\, storytellers\, and facilitators
If you'\;d like to lead a session\, we want to hear from you!

An informational webinar will be hosted on Thursday\, September 24\, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET to answer your questions and share more about this opportunity. \;Register Here. \;
