2025-2026 Truist Foundation Fellowship Summit

Since 2021, the Truist Foundation Fellowship has supported 2,400+ entrepreneurs and this year, the 2025-2026 Truist Foundation Fellows are taking the stage in Atlanta, GA on June 11.

The Truist Foundation Fellowship Summit, powered by Watson Institute, returns for its fourth — and largest — year yet. This free, in-person showcase is where Founders from across Truist Foundation's national footprint unveil ventures that strengthen small businesses, create career pathways to economic mobility, and grow thriving communities.

Whether you're a community leader, funder, entrepreneur, or simply someone who strongly believes in the power of local business to change lives, this is where you need to be.

Look forward to an evening of:

🎤 Live Truist Foundation Fellow Pitches: Hear directly from Founders building change across Truist Foundation's national footprint, including Florida, Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey, Tennessee, and more.

🤝 Meaningful Connections: Network with changemakers, funders, and community builders from across the country

🌍 National Footprint. Local Stage: The boldest ideas from across the country, right here in Atlanta

🍽️ Sips & Bites: Celebrate over hors d'oeuvres as you connect with some of Atlanta's most inspiring changemakers

⚠️ This is an in-person event in Atlanta, GA. Not based in Atlanta? Instead, join us for the free Virtual Showcase on Wednesday, June 24!
