2025 Member Summit Recap: Resources, Highlights, and What’s Next

CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia recently hosted its annual Member Summit, welcoming project directors from our fiscal sponsorship program for a day of reflection, connection, and strengthening our work together. As we continue to mark our 15th anniversary year, the summit provided a meaningful space to explore where we’ve been—and where we’re heading next.

Summit Highlights

The day featured a mapping exercise to see the impact of our projects across the city, updates from staff about policies and procedures, and collaborative breakout activities. Participants also contributed valuable insights about what they need most from CultureWorks in the year ahead—input that will inform upcoming programming, tools, and support systems.

Looking Ahead: Lightning Round Campaign + Celebration Event

This spring, CultureWorks is proud to launch our Lightning Round fundraising campaign—a 3-day collective campaign to power Philly’s vibrant cultural community. This campaign raises critical funds for the storytellers, organizers, and creative changemakers who call CultureWorks home, and demonstrates the strength and impact of our shared community.

We invite you to explore the campaign and support the work that resonates with you here!

To close out the campaign, we’ll be hosting a special culminating event on Thursday, May 15, from 5 - 8pm
Join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and storytelling from some of the incredible projects participating in the campaign.
