Annual Conference 2018

Held for the first time this past year in Europe, EDGE’s 2017 gathering brought together 270 participants from 34 countries under the theme “Reorganize Power for Systems Change.” Convening in Barcelona allowed for the rich activist history of that city to inspire participants throughout our time together.

In April, in an equally inspiring city and region, EDGE members and allies will similarly gather to share insights, develop recommendations and create opportunities that deepen our institutional commitments and strategies in support of transformational change.

Join us as we engage collectively to expand the edges of our analysis and vision, and our alliances with others within and beyond philanthropic community. Together we’ll seek to build and strengthen the role of philanthropy in a transition towards justice, equity and the well-being of the planet.

Come to the edge, he said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them and they flew.

– Guillaume Apollinaire
