Save the date for the 2026 Animal Grantmakers Conference, which will take place September 16–17 at the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City.

This year’s conference will be held immediately prior to Kirkpatrick Foundation’s biennial ANIMAL Conference, September 18–19, also at Oklahoma Contemporary.

Linking these two events will create a unique opportunity for expanded connection, shared learning moments, and new collaborations across a broader community of funders, advocates, and other leaders in animal protection.

While each conference will remain distinct, there will be opportunities to engage across both, making this a particularly dynamic week to be together.

We’ll be sharing additional details on programming, registration, hotel accommodations, and more in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we hope you’ll mark your calendar and plan to join us in Oklahoma City for a September to remember!
