Year 7 of the Nonprofit Summit is the FUNDING SHIFT!
This year will be epic! After a trying two years for our organizations, now is the time to gather the tools and support we need to lead and impact after disruption. Now that many COVID-19 related government loan and grant programs are ending, where does that leave nonprofit organizations going forward?
We will embark in a full day’s learning of relevant topics to refine the tools needed for profitable nonprofit organizations.
All Workshop sessions will focus on maneuvering intentionally and strategically to explore our financial options! We are talking cryptocurrencies, endowments, grants, sponsorships, and more!
We are super excited for our fireside chats with trend-setting nonprofit professionals leading thriving nonprofit organizations!
Also, we will have a Meet and Greet the day before the conference so we can really foster connections with fellow peers.
AND, we are bringing back our Meet the Funders hour; an opportunity to meet community grant funders for nonprofits!

Check out what others have said about the Nonprofit Summit!
Matthew Knight Director is such an amazing speaker and moved me to tears. I’m so glad I was able to attend this year. Great job!
I learned a lot from all the speakers, but Shunqetta Cunningham hit home and she asked us about ourselves and had us to be honest with rather or not we are putting 100% action behind the impact. Thanks for the challenge.
This event was absolutely amazing. I attended last year as a fill in. I made a decision at that time to attend on purpose the next year. If you missed it, mark your calendars for next year. You are only doing your organization and your clients a disservice if you miss out.
Key Takeaways: Volunteerism, Profitability, Program Evaluation, Leadership, Expect Miracles, Pay It Forward, Pitch on the Spot.
Leaders need this as a refreshing every year. We never stop growing and this conference always challenges me to be a better leader.
