Join us in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement!

This year, the Annual Meeting comes to Montgomery for the first time ever – and the first time in Alabama since 2010!

Through site visits, off-site sessions and salon dinners, our agenda includes many opportunities to explore Montgomery and central Alabama, particularly the region’s pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement. This includes visits to The National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the nearby Legacy Museum.

Experience Montgomery

The Annual Meeting’s downtown location puts you a short distance away from many attractions highlighting Montgomery’s rich history and culture.


As part of your registration, you will receive complimentary admission to both the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Just present your badge, and you'll be able to take a self-guided tour of both sites at no charge!

The Legacy Museum
400 N. Court Street (7-minute walk)

The Legacy Museum provides a comprehensive history of the United States with a focus on the legacy of slavery. Beginning with the Transatlantic Slave Trade and continuing through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, lynching and today’s mass-incarceration, the museum provides detailed interactive content and compelling narratives.

 



Rosa Parks Museum
252 Montgomery St. (7-minute walk)

Located at the site where Rosa Parks was arrested, Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum is an active memorial to the life of the civil rights icon and the lessons of the Montgomery Bus Boycott that brought racial integration to transportation and international attention to civil rights.

 

 

 

Riverfront Park
355 Commerce St. (3-minute walk)

Anchored by an amphitheatre, the Harriott II Riverboat, and the historic Union Station Train Shed, Riverfront Park is an entertainment destination on the banks of the Alabama River. Riverboat rides, events, concerts, baseball in Riverwalk Stadium and access to the river via a boat ramp make this park a fun and exciting place for people of all ages.

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice
417 Caroline St. (15-minute walk, 3-minute drive)

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved Black people, people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence.

 



Freedom Rides Museum
210 S. Court St. (11-minute walk)

This award-winning site preserves the façade of the Greyhound Bus Station where, in May 1961, young Freedom Riders challenging segregated travel restrictions came under assault by a mob of protesters. The bravery of the riders in the face of violence helped generate public and political support for the Civil Rights Movement.

Philanthropy Southeast's Code of Conduct 

Philanthropy Southeast is composed of a broad and diverse membership of grantmakers. At our core, we are a community of grantmakers connecting with each other to improve the practice of grantmaking in the Southeast.

At our meetings and events, we also welcome visitors from non-member organizations who attend as presenters or participants. Philanthropy Southeast strives to create a comfortable place for all Members, visitors, and others engaged in philanthropy to exchange experiences and ideas and engage in conversations that are welcoming and of benefit to all participants. As such, Philanthropy Southeast is not a venue for grant seekers, fundraisers, or other types of charitable solicitations during any of its meetings, events or through its publications nor is it an appropriate venue to conduct political activities. We ask that our Members and visitors not solicit at Philanthropy Southeast-sponsored events or programs and that Members and visitors not use information obtained through their Philanthropy Southeast membership or participation in Philanthropy Southeast events for charitable, business or other solicitations outside of those events.
