Join us for the Leadership Summit, Alaska’s largest gathering of nonprofit leaders. Bring your staff and board members for an experience designed to strengthen your organization and inspire new ideas.
The Leadership Summit is interactive, engaging, and grounded in real-world application for nonprofit work. We thoughtfully invite national guests who bring both deep expertise and a talent for facilitating meaningful conversations—not just delivering presentations. That means you’ll have the opportunity to actively explore important topics, share perspectives, and leave with ideas you can put into practice right away.
You will also be joined by the whole Foraker team, who will be ready to provide support, make connections, and highlight new Foraker tools and resources. The summit is also an opportunity for our program alumni and Rasmuson Foundation Sabbatical recipients to connect. Come to the summit to learn, catch up with colleagues, meet new friends, and deepen your support network.
We host the Leadership Summit every two years in the spring. The next Summit will be on April 26 & 27, 2027.
The 2027 Summit will be held at the Dena'ina Center in Anchorage.
We make every effort to keep costs low. The early-bird rate for 2027 is $395 and $345 for Foraker Partners. The regular rate (after early-bird pricing ends)) is $475 and $425 for Foraker Partners. Costs do not include meals, travel, or lodging. Travel scholarships will be available.
We'd love to have you join our group of sponsors. Contact us to learn more about how you can help support the next event.
The Summit is where nonprofit leaders come to think bigger, solve real challenges, and return to their organizations with practical ideas they can use immediately. Through inspiring keynote speakers, honest conversations, and peer learning, participants gain fresh perspective, new tools, and renewed energy for the work ahead.
Each year, the Summit explores timely issues shaping the nonprofit sector and the people who lead it.
Past Summit speakers have included some of the nonprofit sector’s most respected voices, bringing both practical tools and bold ideas to Alaska nonprofit leaders.
