1. The lessons apply everywhere – not only in the Gulf, but in communities everywhere that are working to overcome odds and reinvent themselves.
2. You’re working to transform communities - tackling education, economic development, and many of the same issues at the forefront in the Gulf.
3. You’re in a position to lead – the transformation of communities around the country and the world.

This March 22-24, while history is still fesh, gather with hundreds of fellow funders to explore what has worked in the Gulf Coast region, what hasn’t and bring home the lessons for your work in communities everywhere.

Katrina @ 5: Partners in Philanthropy is a special convening of the philanthropic community, nearly five years after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, to explore how the lessons of response, rebuilding, and transformation in the Gulf Coast apply to communities around the country.

The recent earthquake in Haiti is a harsh reminder that disaster can strike anytime and anywhere. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck our own Gulf Coast in 2005, devastating countless lives and communities in the region, and leaving an impact on the entire country that is still strongly felt today.

What can we learn from the response, rebuilding and community transformation five years following these disasters? How do these lessons apply to communities around the country and the world – from Flint, Michigan to Port au Prince, Haiti?

Join us March 22-24 in New Orleans for Katrina @ 5: Partners in Philanthropy. Learn, share, and affirm your support for the Gulf Coast—and for sustainable, resilient communities everywhere.
