Join SAFSF and member organization ReFED at the 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit for our co-hosted, invite-only Funder Ideas Exchange designed to help funders identify and act on high-impact opportunities to reduce food waste.
This curated breakfast convening will bring together a select group of funders for rapid insights into promising funding opportunities, peer learning, and candid discussion around where philanthropic and impact capital can accelerate systems-level change. Whether you’re already funding in this space or exploring it, this is a unique opportunity to deepen your strategy alongside like-minded peers.
The Summit convenes leaders from across the food system for field trips, mainstage sessions, and interactive workshops—alongside dedicated programming for funders to connect directly with solution providers and explore actionable funding pathways.
SAFSF members are eligible for a discounted registration rate of $300 (75% off) using code SAFSF-FUNDERS.
