Responsive nonprofits know changing the world starts by changing ourselves—our organizations—our processes—and our approach. We’re exploring how to accelerate innovation through partnerships, by striving for a culture of innovation and embracing risk-taking in the nonprofit sector. Plus, you’ll hear how small wins can shift the culture and create momentum and provide a long runway for experimentation. Join this panel of modern impact thinkers as we explore innovation and the opportunity that exists for you and your mission today.
