REGISTER FOR THE IGS 2025

Join us this spring in vibrant Miami for CAF America's Ninth International Grantmaking Symposium (IGS)! This exciting event is where passionate changemakers — corporate and private foundations, philanthropists, advisors, attorneys, and nonprofit practitioners — come together to reimagine the future of global philanthropy. Whether you're looking to sharpen your expertise, connect with like-minded peers, or gain practical insights into cross-border philanthropy, IGS offers an inspiring space to explore innovative solutions, share impactful stories, and stay ahead of the ever-evolving rules and regulations shaping international grantmaking.

IGS 2025 invites U.S. funders and philanthropists to explore the theme Move Forward Together: Cross-Border Grantmaking for Impactful Partnerships. This year’s event will focus on innovative strategies for deploying philanthropic tools to support partnerships that drive global impact, even in the most complex scenarios.

Through expert-led presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on skill-building workshops, attendees will delve into practical approaches to funding nonstandard grantees, supporting public and private sector programs, and overcoming challenges in international giving. Topics will include navigating regulations and compliance, supporting partnerships in difficult contexts, and unlocking new opportunities for cross-border philanthropy.

Attendees will leave the IGS 2025 better equipped to navigate the rules of cross-border grantmaking and to implement innovative funding models, helping U.S. philanthropic funding reach more people around the world.

Registration closes on March 26, 2025. If you have any questions, please reach out to events@cafamerica.org.
