Description:
Join us for an evening focused on the current state of the nonprofit sector in Northern California. Together we will explore how recent funding and policy changes are destabilizing essential services, affecting our local economy, and placing greater strain on our most vulnerable.

Nonprofits cannot carry this burden alone. Stand with us as we navigate these challenging times and look ahead to how our communities can respond together.
