SEPTEMBER 2026

From Learning to Impact: Reflecting on Growth, Sharing Insights & Looking Ahead to 2027

Join us for a special Nonprofit Accelerator session designed to reflect, reconnect, and look ahead. Together, we’ll revisit key insights from this year’s trainings – from onboarding new board members and strengthening year-end fund development strategies to donor cultivation, audit readiness, and community engagement.

The heart of this session will be interactive Leader Roundtables, giving nonprofit leaders the opportunity to exchange real-world experiences, talk through challenges, share what’s working, and learn directly from one another.

Participants will leave with fresh ideas, stronger peer connections, and practical insights they can carry back to their organizations. We’ll also look ahead to what’s coming in the 2026–2027 Nonprofit Accelerator Series.
