About the Forum
SAFSF amplifies the impact of philanthropic and investment communities in support of just and sustainable food and agriculture systems, and the SAFSF Forum is the only national gathering for and by funders supporting just and sustainable food systems change. The Forum challenges participants to understand the need for grantmakers and investors to take on risks in order to co-create more resilient, sustainable, and equitable food systems—and at the same time, provides space to cultivate connections with peers so that no one organization is going it alone.
The SAFSF Forum will again be held online in 2021 to bring you the opportunities for real-life learning and peer connection that funders look forward to all year. Spanning two weeks, from May 3-14, 2021, the 2021 SAFSF Forum is a curated assortment of thought-provoking, timely, and diverse programming developed by your SAFSF funder peers. With a range of workshop and networking sessions offered over two weeks, put together the schedule that works for your learning:
Tune in live and participate in dynamic discussions with expert speakers
Listen to session recordings at a time that works for you
Connect and network with funder and investor peers working across the country
The Forum is developed by and for funders who are working on a variety of issues, approaches, and geographies. Attendees will leave with inspiration, strategies, and connections for impactful engagement related to their own work within the food system.
