The Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida's third annual Nonprofit Works conference will take place in Jacksonville, Florida on June 21, 2018. This event will bring together nonprofit staff and Board members of all sizes and mission areas to challenge thinking, explore new ideas, and provide nonprofits with the tools and connections they need to strengthen their impact in the community.
