Disasters and crises impact more and more Californians each year, and our state’s nonprofits and funders often find themselves on the front lines of helping the vulnerable communities most harmed by these events.
We are so excited to invite you to participate in an interactive, facilitated dialogue between nonprofits and funders, diving into the most pressing challenges facing the nonprofit workforce – and to consider real solutions for change.

And yet, the workforce faces major challenges, including burnout, recruitment, retention, and providing living wages.
