... TO COME TOGETHER FOR ANIMALS IN THE LONE STAR STATE!

The 26th Annual Animal Grantmakers Conference will be held October 15 - 17 (opening day is a Wednesday this year) at the Hilton Forth Worth. Recognized as the site of JFK's final presidential address, the historic downtown Fort Worth, Texas hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (please hold off on booking your accommodations until we share Animal Grantmakers' special group rate reservation link / code).

As usual, this year's conference will begin with optional site visits and an opening night reception, close with a gala dinner and keynote, and feature speakers expert in a range of animal-related topics. Additionally, in homage to Animal Grantmakers' early years, about half of the program will be reserved for members / funders to share their work, as well as interactive discussions and workshops.

Check back soon for further details!
