Nonprofit Innovation: Doing things Differently – Doing Different Things will bring together nonprofit organizations as well as consultants and foundations to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work.

This year, a minimum of 650 individuals are expected to attend and take part in this exciting opportunity. Additional Information and Registration Here
