Nonprofits are at the heart of America’s communities—delivering vital services, powering local economies, and connecting communities. Yet despite being one of the most trusted institutions in the United States, the sector faces significant challenges in demonstrating its value to key audiences, from policymakers to the public.
Join us for the 14th Annual Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits, a timely and thought-provoking virtual event hosted by the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), Independent Sector, and Nonprofit Policy Forum.
This year’s theme, “Breaking Through the Noise: Assessing and Communicating the Impact of Nonprofits and Philanthropy,” addresses a critical policy moment marked by shrinking government support and growing demand for nonprofit services. Now more than ever, the sector must find powerful new ways to tell its story. Let’s work together to elevate the voice, value, and visibility of nonprofits in America.
