About the Emerging Leader Convening
We Raise Foundation is committed to investing in the leadership, growth, and development of our emerging leaders by gathering together annually for the Emerging Leader Convening. This three-day conference-style gathering in downtown Chicago is designed for our grantees to learn, grow, and network with other young like-minded nonprofit professionals. Thought leaders and experts on the topics of leadership, marketing, grant writing, organizational culture, measuring outcomes, and creating sustainability teach participants through their experience and guided conversation. As a result, each attendee returns home equipped and recharged to move their mission forward.
“It’s so rewarding to see the creativity, energy, and enthusiasm for showing God’s love to others.”

We believe investing in leaders and their programs when they are getting started can have a catalytic impact on both the program, and the kind of leader that person will be long into the future.
Each year, we recognize the commitment and service of one emerging Christian leader interrupting the cycles of poverty, violence, and inequality in the United States, whether through their professional work or as a volunteer.
