Nonprofit GPS is a new, action-based community designed to help nonprofits navigate today’s disrupted revenue landscape.

Together, we’ll share practical strategies and highlight bright spots of practice that strengthen missions, even in the most disruptive times.

At this event you will hear: an analysis of the current economic landscape for nonprofits and the implications for practice; what array of critical new resources will be offered by Nonprofit GPS over the next three months and beyond; and how to become involved as a practice leader in this community.
