Stronger Foundations: Reflect. Recover. Renew.
In an unprecedented year, the ACF Virtual Annual Conference 2020 was a unique opportunity to gather as a sector and take stock. We explored what impacts the Covid-19 crisis had on us all, what we learnt in the first nine months of the pandemic and what our future considerations need to be.
The programme featured a wealth of high-quality, thought provoking key addresses, plenary presentations, panel discussions and Q&A sessions, delivered by a diverse and prominent group of speakers and panellists.
Day 1
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, 25 November
Stopping to reflect since Covid-19 struck, we explored:
- How foundations and civil society have responded to the pandemic
- How foundations are working in the initial phase of the recovery period
- Evidence and ideas to uncover what’s working well and what needs to change
- How foundations, the sector, and wider civil society should be responding
Day 2
10:00 AM – 4:40 PM, 26 November
Moving forward, the agenda challenged participants to also consider:
- The lasting impacts of Covid-19
- What do economic and society changes mean for civil society?
- How can foundations adapt and evolve to stay ahead?
- Can foundations maximise the impact they make in the future?
- How the ACF Stronger Foundations project can best support the sector
