Not feel alone in the tumult • Build meaningful connections • Share and gain knowledge • Enhance your skills with real-world, actionable strategies • Tackle common challenges with the collective wisdom of the community• Collaborate on impactful projects that move the needle in the social good space

This community of practice will meet from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m. MDT the last Wednesday of each month from April to September:

While this event is free, please RSVP to hold your place.

This community of practice emerged as a direct result of Prospera Partner’s Disrupting the Path: A New Way Forward for NM's Social Sector conversations where attendees expressed the desire for more opportunities to connect with other nonprofit organizations and of course, the people working within them. It’s more important than ever to stay connected to community!

Generously supported by the Mind the Gap Fund, a donor advised fund committed to systems change and equity in the nonprofit sector, this event is part of BIG – Bold Impact for Good, a fiscally sponsored program of the nonprofit Community Ventures. Presented in partnership with New Mexico Thrives, an ally member of the National Council of Nonprofits.
