Infrastructures for the Future

Weaving what is next

In April 2025, 100 practitioners from 35 countries came together in Bucharest for the first-ever global gathering focused on the infrastructure that enables community foundations (CFs) to thrive. 

IF was co-designed by CFSO leaders across Africa, the Americas, Europe and Oceania, organized by the Inspire Institute and generously supported by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. 

What we learned

Let us just build

the futures we’d love.
on strong foundations,
with thin, elastic threads
ribbons of connected webs,

infrastructures of
belonging
hosting the new,
Brownian
moving pieces
and sharp fragments
of a world
that sells itself short,
at once at full speed
and on hold
