Social Innovation Forum
Across sectors - from health equity to youth development - nonprofit organizations engage in policy and advocacy work to create lasting change. Now, with the rapidly shifting federal landscape, these organizations are under pressure. They face the challenge of meeting an increased need in their communities while navigating uncertainty and funding cuts.
Join other funders and nonprofit leaders for an action-oriented conversation about how we can come together to support policy and advocacy efforts. We will explore: Why is supporting advocacy efforts urgent at this moment? How is the current federal administration impacting nonprofits doing policy and advocacy work? How can funders and nonprofit leaders work together to meet community needs?
This lunch event will include a facilitated panel, interactive discussions, and time for networking.
