Social Innovation ForumJoin fellow donors, philanthropists, and business leaders for an engaging evening of insights and connection, hosted by the Social Innovation Forum (SIF) Executive Director, Wyona Lynch-McWhite in conversation with our partners at Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF). Together, we’ll explore new data and bold ideas that are shaping the future of nonprofit sustainability.
This event will highlight findings from NFF’s State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey, a new sector-wide survey, that reveal how nonprofits are navigating financial uncertainty—and how funders can best support them for long-term impact. Through a candid and data-informed conversation, we'll examine national findings as well as dive into Massachusetts-specific learnings that can inform our work.
Why You Should Attend:
- Get an early look at the key findings from the State of the Nonprofit Sector survey
- Hear from leading voices in our community on how philanthropy strengthens nonprofit sustainability
- Connect with liked-minded donors who are exploring innovative and values-driven ways to give
Whether you’re a long-time SIF supporter or new to our work, this is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of the nonprofit sector and explore how your philanthropy can help build a stronger, more sustainable social impact ecosystem.
