Join us for a valuable opportunity to hear directly from four influential funders supporting aging-related work in the Greater Philadelphia region. Our June session in the Stronger Together: Nonprofit Learning Series will feature a panel of grantmakers sharing insights into their funding priorities, application processes, and advice for building strong, lasting partnerships. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Jerry Johnson, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and nationally recognized leader in geriatrics and health disparities.
Whether you’re seeking your first grant or deepening an existing relationship, this session is designed to give nonprofit leaders real-world guidance, candid feedback, and ideas for navigating today’s funding landscape.
