Join Our Community: Learn, Connect, and Grow with Like-Minded Nonprofits
Almost every week, we hear from another desperate parent or frustrated nonprofit with ideas and passion who ask us “How did you do it?” We love the conversations we have had with some of these folks, but we wanted to be more intentional in our desire to help.
The more we thought about it, the more convinced we were that all of us and all of you just need one place to find out what we want and need to know, learn what’s happening in other places, find out what works and what doesn’t and bounce our ideas off others who have gone before.
You are invited to join us!
