Wealth is often understood narrowly as accumulation or privilege rather than as a practical foundation for stability\, choice\, and long-term opportunity. When the narrative is muddled or loaded\, it becomes harder to build durable public support for policies and programs that expand economic power. \nNationSwell invites leaders from philanthropy\, business\, and the social sector to a conversation on how the impact field can develop a clearer\, more inclusive narrative and vocabulary around wealth. We’ll examine how words like ownership\, assets\, security\, and opportunity are landing today\, where they fall short\, and how reframing can better support economic mobility and inclusive growth initiatives. The discussion will focus on what practitioners can do differently—in strategy\, storytelling\, and partnerships—to align language with outcomes and help normalize wealth-building as a legitimate\, shared goal. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Funders are under pressure to move money more efficiently\, learn faster\, and support grantees better\, all without adding risk\, burden\, or opacity to an already complex system. The question is no longer whether AI will touch grantmaking\, but where it can actually add value—and where it shouldn’t. \nNationSwell invites philanthropic and impact leaders to a conversation on the practical use of AI in grantmaking. We’ll focus on use cases—sourcing and diligence\, application review\, portfolio learning\, reporting\, and grantee support—while interrogating the tradeoffs around bias\, transparency\, data quality\, and trust. The goal is a grounded exchange of ideas about when AI can meaningfully improve decisions and workflows\, and how to adopt it in ways that strengthen\, rather than undermine\, equity\, accountability\, and relationships with grantees. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

From knowing when to sunset a project\, to adapting an initiative as conditions shift\, or to nurture long-term\, community-driven impact\, place-based work raises important questions about what success truly looks like. Should scale always be the goal—or are shifts in power and resources\, and other changes representative of deeper measures of progress? \nTogether\, we’ll discuss what it takes to move beyond the pilot phase. We’ll explore lessons from initiatives\, strategies for embedding sustainability from the outset\, and approaches to navigating shifts in the landscape. We’ll also consider how to balance the tension of replication across contexts with place-specific customization\, to ultimately uncover the critical components of building pipelines that make change last. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.
