Nonprofit Council Presented by NJBIA
The past year put nonprofits in a tough spot, with uncertain funding, growing compliance demands, and increasing pressure on already stretched teams and budgets. As policies, funding priorities, and oversight expectations continue to evolve, nonprofits are being forced to rethink how they plan, operate, and protect their mission.
What does that mean for your nonprofit and what should you be focusing on now?
Join us on July 28th for our Nonprofit Council, Policy, Funding, and the Future of Nonprofits, as we take a closer look at the legislative, funding, and regulatory forces shaping the nonprofit sector.
The 60-minute session will cover:
- Key legislative, regulatory, and funding developments expected to affect nonprofits in 2026 and 2027
- Federal policy priorities and what they may mean for nonprofit funding, reporting, and advocacy efforts
- Current pressures nonprofits are facing across funding, staffing, compliance, and operations
- What nonprofit leaders should be paying attention to as they plan for the next fiscal year
Who Should Attend?

- Fundraising and development professionals
