For 20 years, The Commonwealth Institute has worked alongside partners and communities to turn strong research and policy ideas into meaningful change across Virginia. Join us for 20 & Beyond, our 20th anniversary reception on November 9, 2026, at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture. 

We’ll celebrate the progress we’ve made together, honor the people who helped make it possible, and look ahead to what we can accomplish next. The evening will bring together supporters, community partners, policy leaders, and elected officials for food, drinks, connection, and celebrations.

We also invite you to join us for a day of learning and shared strategy at our Policy Summit earlier that day.

Where: 428 N. Arthur Ashe Boulevard, Richmond, Va 23220

When: November 9, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
