The most powerful ideas don’t happen in silos – they hapen when we build together.

The 2026 Nonprofit Leadership Summit will bring together nonprofit leaders, staff, board members, and partners from across West Virginia for two days of connection, learning, and inspiration.

This year, we’re proud to partner with Philanthropy WV, creating a unique opportunity to convene both funders and nonprofit professionals for shared conversations and meaningful collaboration.

Our events will overlap beginning at lunchtime on October 15, followed by a full day of nonprofit-focused programming on October 16.
