Welcome to PNW26! We’re excited to gather in person October 6–8, 2026, in Anchorage, Alaska, during a milestone year for our network.

Philanthropy Northwest is a dynamic regional network of philanthropic partners across Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and beyond. 2026 marks our 50th anniversary, making PNW26 both our biennial conference and our golden anniversary celebration. 

For five decades, PNW has been more than an organization – we’ve been a community, a trusted partner and a peer network committed to transforming our sector together.

With 450+ attendees expected, PNW26 will be the largest gathering of philanthropy practitioners in the Northwest. Over three days, you’ll hear from inspiring speakers leading with equity and racial justice, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new peers, explore bold ideas shaping the future of philanthropy and community-centered practice, and celebrate our shared journey with local music and art. We’ll also create space to experience and learn from our incredible host city – Anchorage, where culture, community and stunning natural beauty come together.

Join us in Alaska to celebrate 50 years as a network and kick off the next chapter together.
