KEYNOTE

Satonya Fair, PEAK Grantmaking

"Rooted in Care, Rising Together: Community, Values, and Belonging From Every Chair"

In times of uncertainty and rapid change, building Communities of Care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. This keynote with Satonya Fair, CEO of PEAK Grantmaking, explores how creating communities
of care and collaboration are deeply interconnected, showing that the power to rise is built not in isolation, but in community. When Satonya took on the imperative to nurture the community of grants professionals
at PEAK, she came anchored in equity, knowing that she had to lead with values and that strengthening the ability to connect and build community around our principles and values would be everything.
Today, PEAK celebrates and creates spaces for 9,000 grants professionals to collaborate, learn, and grow across identities, affinities, and geographies. In this keynote, we'll discuss how honoring our values must
shape everything from strategy to fundraising, and how innovation, AI, and other tools must serve—not lead—our missions. With a clear-eyed focus on inclusion, equity, and shared leadership,
we’ll examine how to break down silos, adapt with flexibility, and form a “coalition of the willing” committed to meaningful, values-driven impact. The resources are here; the moment is now.
