2022 Nonprofit Finance & Sustainability Conference

Join the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits and Propel Nonprofits for the 2022 Nonprofit Finance & Sustainability Conference — offered as a two-day virtual format — to learn how to pro-actively respond to the change and challenge in Minnesota’s nonprofit sector.

Hone your skills around data security, accounting, negotiating benefits, business modeling, and equitable fiscal leadership. The foundation will be laid for you to expand your knowledge as it relates to inflation, ARPA dollars, people-centered policies, leading and healing through prolonged crisis, aligning investments with values, and more.

Together, we will understand how centering equity, people, and values in our approach to financial and human resources leadership grows organizational and community vitality, particularly in uncertain times.
