Yale School of Management
2018 Adaptive Philanthropy, Resilient Sector Conference
February 23, 2018
New Haven, CT

Today’s environment of social and political turbulence has acute consequences for nonprofits. Their access to resources and the rights of communities they serve are increasingly at risk. At the same time, this environment is motivating citizens to take action, and prompting funders to think more carefully about how best to respond to the needs of at risk communities. As a keynote speaker, NCRP’s President and CEO, Aaron Dorfman, is honored to draw on his expertise in responsive philanthropy and years of community organizing. In this environment of rapid change and uncertainty, nonprofits and funders must focus on how to keep the sector not only resilient but also increasingly effective in spite of these external challenges.
