Navigating Security Challenges in Philanthropy
Resilience in Action
Security Summit
A partnership event brought to you by the Ford Foundation, NGO-ISAC, and the Technology Association of Grantmakers (TAG). This event is generously hosted by ServiceNow.
May 21, 2026 | New York City
The Resilience in Action Security Summit is a one-day, action-oriented gathering designed for grantmaking and social impact leaders navigating today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. As risks increasingly blur the lines between cyberattacks, physical security threats, and coordinated mis- and disinformation campaigns, philanthropy must be prepared to respond with clarity, coordination, and resilience.
This summit will convene experts and grantmaking leaders to explore how digital and physical security intersect — and what it means for defending mission-centric institutions and protecting vulnerable communities.
Please note that attendance will be capped at 90 participants.
- TAG and NGO-ISAC Members: $300
- Non-Members: $400
Scholarships are available for NGO-ISAC members – please contact Lea Lubag for more information.
