For more than a decade, SoCal Grantmakers has invested in cultivating senior-level leadership in philanthropy through our Senior Peer Cohort program, and we are pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2026 evolve Senior Peer Cohort leadership development program. This dynamic peer-learning experience brings together a select group of senior-level foundation staff from SCG’s member organizations to explore leadership, organizational dynamics, collaborative philanthropic impact, and both professional and personal development. Participants will engage in meaningful discussions, reflective learning, and practical tools to enhance their management and leadership.
This unique opportunity enables participants to gain valuable insights from peers in a facilitated setting, helping them to develop leadership skills to prepare for future endeavors.
The deadline to apply for the cohort is Friday, May 15th, 2026.
