• The 2025 ARNOVA conference is November 20-22 in Indianapolis, IN

This year’s theme, "The Evolving Role of Philanthropy in Global, National, and Local Contexts," invites us to explore how philanthropy is transforming across sectors and scales. With a focus on transformation, collaboration, and critical inquiry, the conference will foster deep conversations about philanthropy’s complex relationships—with government, nonprofit organizations, and the communities it seeks to serve.

Key topics include:
•    Philanthropy and Government: Examining shifting public-private dynamics, accountability, and social innovation.
•    Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector: Investigating donor influence, resource dependency, and mission integrity.
•    Critical Perspectives and Power Dynamics: Analyzing race, class, and gender in philanthropic leadership and strategy.
•    Globalization and Localization: Balancing global ambitions with local needs and cultural contexts.
We welcome submissions that speak directly to these topics as well as those that broaden our understanding of nonprofit and voluntary action more generally.
