“Strengthening Nonprofits in an Age of Precious Resources” brought together nonprofit organizations, as well as consultants and foundations, to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work. Despite the fact that funding can be limited, the great demands of the nonprofit world continue to mount. Using a very creative approach, Massachusetts Nonprofit Network sought to develop a strong voice for the sector in the area of advocacy, while connecting nonprofits in Massachusetts with available resources and each other. Over 375 people attended and took part in this exciting opportunity. |
