2026 Keynote Speaker

dr. una osili, executive director of philanthropy, strategy and operations, eli lilly and company foundation

As we consider philanthropic trends in our communities, one thing is clear: the philanthropic landscape is complex and rapidly changing. Economic volatility, changes in the government funding landscape, the impact of the changing demographics, and the rapid rise in the use of Artificial Intelligence and technology have all played a central role. What are the key factors shaping philanthropy now, and how do they impact nonprofits in our communities? What is the most effective way to engage donors of different backgrounds? How can nonprofits reach young donors now and in the future? Who is giving, and who is receiving charitable donations?

This One Day Event Features:

  • An opening keynote presentation from a leader in planned giving.

  • Attendees will choose from nine breakout sessions across three learning tracks (Donor Engagement, Behind the Scenes, and Getting Technical). Learn proven strategies, current trends, and best practices from some of the most well-respected members of the philanthropic planning community.

  • This program meets CAP® (re)certification requirements.

  • We will celebrate the 2026 Distinguished Service Award

  • Network between sessions and at the much-anticipated closing reception!

  • Interact with sponsors and exhibitors who support NCGPC year-round.
