Nonprofits are our country’s most trusted institutions. We provide a significant portion of the nation’s health care, higher education, environmental stewardship, human services, religious services, arts and culture, and other vital services essential to thriving communities. We devise effective solutions and deliver results. As such, we can adopt an abundance mindset and operate from a place of power.
MANOAC24 will celebrate the accomplishments of nonprofits while sharing techniques, methods, ideas, and social capital that can help us to do more and demand more resources to do it with.
