Visionary Leadership Retreat 2025

Philea will host the “Visionary Leadership Retreat 2025” on 24-25 November in Cap Roig, Spain, bringing together foundation board chairs and CEOs to create a common space for inspiration and connection.

In the face of growing societal and geopolitical challenges, philanthropic organisations are being called to re-evaluate their roles and impact. This urgency is heightened by questions around the legitimacy of philanthropy itself. As foundations adapt to a rapidly changing landscape, leadership is under pressure — and learning from peers is proving essential for resilience and creativity.

At this moment, the relationship between the Board Chair and CEO is more critical than ever. It shapes governance, culture, and strategic direction. Yet, a recent survey of 238 sector professionals identified misalignment between boards and executives as the most significant internal risk to philanthropy’s future effectiveness — especially when boards lack insight into emerging practices. Now more than ever, it’s vital for boards and executives to align their visions and connect with peers. Chairs and CEOs play a pivotal role in driving this alignment, and trust between them is key to organisational success.

Based on Philea’s extensive experience in this field, the retreat will form an exclusive, curated convening, serving as a touchpoint for a small but meaningful community of Board Chairs and CEOs of Foundations.
