Return to Main ICoF Events Page
You read that right. We’re going to meet – IN PERSON – in May! We look forward to bringing everyone back together after spending over two years apart. This membership meeting will be a bit different than a typical content session. Here’s what you can expect when we gather:
Reconnecting: Plenty of unstructured, unscheduled time to reconnect with your colleagues.
Reflecting: Space to reflect on the past two years, what we collectively experienced both personally and as philanthropy practitioners.
Reenergizing: Time to hear from your colleagues about what they have been up to and what’s on the horizon.
We will also conduct the FY22 ICoF Annual Meeting and elect new board members. Please register now to join us!

Cost For ICoF membership meetings, each member is given one complimentary registration, with additional registrations invoiced at $25 per person to help cover food costs. Invoices will be sent the week following the event. Please note that for registration purposes we have not listed a cost on the event registration page.
Location + COVID-19 Safety Precautions Our meeting will be held at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden. We will be monitoring their policies as well as CDC guidelines and the latest developments of the COVID-19 pandemic as we get closer to the event. At this time, considering a rise in transmission across the U.S., we encourage all attendees to wear a mask while indoors, regardless of vaccination status, except while eating. We selected this venue in part because of their indoor/outdoor options, and -- weather permitting -- the ability to help circulate fresh air in our meeting space, and to eat outside. Attendees assume all risk and responsibility related to possible virus transmission at an in-person event. On the registration form you will be asked to review and agree to a COVID-19 liability waiver. If you become ill, test positive for, or are exposed to COVID-19 prior to the event, please stay home and take care.
Accommodations The facility is an ADA-compliant. More information is available here. If there are specific accommodations that would help you attend and/or more fully participate, please let Laura know with as much notice as possible.
