GET CONNECTED
Getting the nonprofit sector together is an important part of what we do. Nonprofit professionals need each other. We need to get together in person or online to collaborate, connect, and even sometimes commiserate!
CNPE brings members and nonmembers together in a range of ways throughout the year.
Webinars and Gatherings: Whether we're hosting an in-person ice-cream social, a webinar about the latest Giving USA philanthropy report or reception with the mayor, CNPE gets the community together regularly for networking and collaboration.
Speaker Series: Our Nonprofit Power Hour speaker series is sponsored by Pinnacle Financial Partners. These are dynamic, free events offered at no cost to the community that bring nonprofit leaders together to discuss important issues like team building and crisis communications.
The School for Fundraising: The School for Fundraising has brought together both mentors and participants from across the community to enhance the fundraising skills of newer and smaller nonprofit staff and leaders who may not otherwise have access to quality training.
Job Board: Our nonprofit job board lists about 400 postings year, helping area nonprofits connect with the staff they need to live out their missions. Job postings are free to member organizations and to all job seekers. Check it out here.
BoardMatch: Finding local individuals who share a passion for your mission, and then inviting them to serve on your board or board committees can be daunting. We help you make those connections through BoardMatch.
CHANGEMAKERS CONFERENCE
Our most recent conference was a sell-out event that featured dynamic speakers, breakout sessions, recognition of outstanding accomplishments, and a rare opportunity to meet with leaders and staff from nonprofits and foundations of every size and mission. Read more about it here.
Community Activation Network (CAN)
CAN is a network of people and organizations nurturing a thriving nonprofit ecosystem of inclusion, co-creation, and interdependence. We assemble when needed to consider how nonprofits can help address our community's most pressing problems. Past topics have included violence in our community and workforce issues facing the nonprofit sector.
