Join Weingart Foundation’s Fred Ali as he shares thoughts and views on the emerging disruptions in the nonprofit sector regionally and nationally.
This discussion will explore changes facing the sector as funding becomes more scarce, increasing pressure to rise to today’s societal challenges in light of a retreating public sector and the need for diversity across organizations. How is your organization evolving? Brief remarks followed by extensive dialog and discussion with attendees.
