At the core of the Tom Tom Foundation’s work is a simple belief: solutions emerge when leaders come together across backgrounds, ideologies, and sectors to discuss problems and design new paths forward.

Tom Tom Summits are facilitated, year-long conversations that bring together changemakers from government, education, business, and the nonprofit world to collaborate on Charlottesville’s most pressing issues. Summits leverage the in-person convenings at the Tom Tom Festival, to pursue a series of working sessions throughout the year that turn ideas into action.
