Conference keynotes provide unique insights into new ways of thinking about sustainability in our work from experienced leaders.

All sessions, including the Keynotes, are recorded and available the following each day.

Instead of being seen as organizations of privilege and patronage, many organizations prefer to see themselves as agents of social change and instigators of justice.

But do our leadership models, personnel structures, compensation policies, hiring practices, fundraising strategies, and our unchallenging acceptance of government grants all contribute to organizational structures that perpetuate the charity mindset?

Join Shétu Rose, CEO of Diverge Finance Cooperative, as she provides context for these questions within the current climate nonprofits find themselves operating in, and then invites a panel of leaders in the field for a conversation on the subtle vestiges of the charity mindset and how we can challenge ourselves to avoid perpetuating it.

Increased costs, fluctuations in charitable giving, and the end of COVID-relief funding are among the factors contributing to what MCN recently reported as a growing financial crisis for nonprofits.

Many nonprofit leaders are working hard to find creative and adaptive solutions for this moment. Searching for these solutions can be difficult and lonely for financial leaders in an organization. 

Join Propel Nonprofit’s CFO Ellie O’Brien and a panel of nonprofit, philanthropic, and public sector leaders for a conversation designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate financial crises effectively, foster a culture of financial understanding, and build strong support networks. Whether your nonprofit is currently in crisis, or you are looking to strengthen its financial resilience, this discussion promises to offer valuable insights and actionable strategies.
