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. The Nonprofit Works Conference was first held in June 2016 and has consistently attracted more than 200 nonprofit professionals.
The theme for Nonprofit Works 2018 is Future + Forward. What does the future hold for the nonprofit sector? How can organizations and professionals be prepared for uncertain times ahead? The conference aims to leave attendees inspired and energized. Our Keynote speaker this year is Kim Klein, noted for her work in grassroots fundraising.
Nonprofit Works 2018 will be held at The Jessie Ball duPont Center, one of Jacksonville’s architectural jewels that provides offices for nonprofits and gathering spaces for the community in an energy-efficient environment with state-of-the-art technology.
