Statewide: Annual Nonprofit Conference

Every year, hundreds of nonprofit leaders from all over Idaho attend the statewide nonprofit conference. Here is what they have to say:

“I really enjoy the opportunity to talk with other nonprofit employees”....“Good way to network”....“Very informative sessions, great presenters, and good networking opportunities”…“Never miss!” …“Good opportunity for professional development”…“This conference exceeded my expectations, I'm leaving with many tools that will enhance my job.”

Nationally: National Council of Nonprofits

Idaho Nonprofit Center members have automatic membership in the National Council of Nonprofits.

By linking local nonprofit organizations across the nation, the National Council helps small and midsize nonprofits manage and lead more effectively, collaborate and exchange solutions, engage in critical policy issues affecting the sector, and achieve greater impact in their communities.

nonprofit sector.
