KEYNOTE SPEAKER

DIMPLE ABICHANDANI

Dimple is a nationally recognized philanthropic leader, lawyer, and author of A New Era of
Philanthropy: Ten Practices to Transform Wealth Into a More Just and Sustainable Future.


For two decades, Dimple has worked to reshape philanthropy’s purpose and practice while leading innovative funding institutions. As executive director of the General Service Foundation (2015 to 2022), she aligned the foundation’s grantmaking, investments, and governance with justice values. She was the founding director of the Rise Together Fund, a donor collaborative at the Proteus Fund, and previously led the Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley School of Law.


A National Center for Family Philanthropy Fellow, Dimple’s leadership has been recognized with a Scrivener Award for Creative Grantmaking. She serves on the board of directors of Solidaire Network and has served on the boards/steering committees of the Trust-Based Philanthropy Project, Northern California Grantmakers, and Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees. Dimple is based in the San Francisco Bay Area where she advises donors and foundations working toward a more just and sustainable future.


AUDIENCE & REGISTRATION

All PhilMO Members are encouraged to attend Annual Meeting and non-Member Missouri funders are welcome to join as well. 


It is the responsibility of the Primary Contact for your organization to vote at the meeting on behalf of your organization – or designate a proxy (from your organization or another PhilMO Member). 


If you encounter any challenges registering for this program or otherwise navigating our website, help is available by contacting info@philmo.org. 


FAQ

❓ I’d like to purchase Dimple’s book. Does PhilMO has a bulk rate available? We are reaching out to MO-based independent book shops and hope to have one to share with you soon. 

❓What happened to the in-person Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference & Annual Meeting? Nothing to fear! PhilMO is moving conference to the Fall – out of unpredictable winter weather. This virtual 2025 Annual Meeting will be our last in January. In Fall 2026, we will hold the combined Show-Me Philanthropy Statewide Conference & 2026 Annual Meeting in-person in St. Louis.

❓I love planning big events. Do you need help with Conference? Why, yes, we do! You are invited to be part of the team of Members helping craft a fabulous conference experience: the Statewide Conference Planning People. Details will be shared in December 2025. Reach out to info@philmo.org to learn more.

❓I’m not my organization’s Primary Contact. May I still attend Annual Meeting? Absolutely! We warmly invite all Members to register. The only thing restricted to Primary Contacts (or their designated proxy) is voting for the Board slate. There is no cost for Members to register. 

❓I'm a funder who invests in Missouri but am not a PhilMO Member (yet!). May I participate? Yes! We warmly invite non-Member Missouri funders/grantmakers to join us. Non-Member funders are asked to contribute a $75.00 registration fee. If you'd like to learn more about membership, please visit this page or contact info@philmo.org to ask for more information.

❓I'm not a funder and am not a PhilMO Member. May I participate? No. This program is limited to Members (Full, Associate, and Partner) and non-Member Missouri grantmakers/funders. We do offer occasional programs for nonprofit and community partners. We anticipate the first such program in 2026 will be the Funder First Friday in St. Louis on February 6. Details to come!
