Northwest Arkansas

GCIR is organizing a site visit to Northwest Arkansas to complement the GSP 2025 Convening for funders and philanthropic-supporting organizations. Arkansas is one of the top five poultry processing states in the nation and has one of the highest concentrations of farmworkers. Immigrants have helped catalyze communities in the northwestern part of the state, a region which would otherwise have experienced significant population decline.

Program Participation

GCIR programs are open to GCIR members; staff and trustees of grantmaking foundations; philanthropic advisors; and staff of philanthropic support organizations. Under GCIR policy, grantmaking must be the primary function of your organization in order to qualify as a grantmaking institution eligible to register for our programming. We limit participation in our programs to these groups in order to create a space for funders to have candid discussions and opportunities for peer learning and knowledge building.
