Celebrate 50 Years of Impact with Arkansas Community Foundation on April 16
In 2026, Arkansas Community Foundation marks 50 years of strengthening communities across our state.
We began this milestone year in a big way, awarding $1 million in grants to 47 nonprofits serving Arkansans in critical areas like food security, childcare, and access to education. And now, we invite you to be part of the celebration at our 50th Anniversary Summit.
We are pleased to host a fireside chat with Asa Hutchinson, General Wesley Clark, and moderator Craig O’Neill for this year’s Summit. This engaging discussion will explore the importance of respectful dialogue, principled leadership, and the role that philanthropy plays in strengthening communities.

The Summit will take place at 2 pm on April 16, 2026 at Ron Robinson Theater. If you can’t attend in person, you can watch via the Arkansas TV livestream. Click here to watch live.
Immediately following the Summit, please stay and join us for a special reception honoring Heather Larkin, former CEO of Arkansas Community Foundation. Join us at 3:30 pm to enjoy a drink and hors d’oeuvres while sharing memories, stories, and well wishes as we bid Heather a heartfelt farewell and wish her all the best in her well-earned retirement.
We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful afternoon of reflection, conversation, and celebration as we honor our past and look ahead to the future of philanthropy in Arkansas.
