Fund Advisors Exchange 2026
9 East Main Street, Dryden, NY 13053
Join us for the Fund Advisors Exchange 2026—an interactive gathering designed to bring together Fund Advisors, Originators, and emerging philanthropists for connection, learning, and collective impact.
This year’s Exchange invites you beyond conversation and into action.
Learn how Dryden Center for Community envisions a historical landmark in Dryden’s center square as a new “third space” fostering local interaction and connection.
We will take a deeper dive into grant requests from our Empowering Resilient Communities to Thrive grant cycle. Together, we will explore requests and needs across Tompkins County, share perspectives, and consider how collective giving can deepen impact.
You’ll hear insights from across the philanthropic sector, connect with fellow advisors, and gain early access to exciting updates—including information on the Tompkins Today and Tomorrow (TTT) Endowment Initiative.
Whether you are looking to deepen your impact, learn alongside peers, or explore new giving opportunities, this gathering is designed for you.
