As we prepare for the 2026 season, we’re looking back at a 2025 highlight: the Young Professionals Conference. More than 450 youth gathered at Huntington Place for a day focused on resiliency, well-being, and workforce readiness. Let's do it again soon!

Strong communities are built when local organizations have the resources, partnerships, and support to solve the problems closest to home. Community change happens when nonprofits, government partners, and funders work together.

Good decisions start with good information. Whether addressing lead hazards, after school programming, food access, or youth employment, better data helps communities understand the need, align resources, and move solutions forward.

Demand for nonprofit services is rising while funding is less predictable. Longer waitlists, fewer programs, reduced hours, or less support when people need it most. Donate your time, share local resources, or give what you can. You make a difference.
