2025 Nonprofit Summit Program - Alabama Association of Nonprofits

WELCOME

The Alabama Association of Nonprofits exists to champion nonprofit leaders and their organizations through professional development, advocacy, and support. You—our member community—are at the heart of everything we do, and our vision remains clear: a thriving nonprofit sector that moves Alabama forward.

As we gather for these two days together, we have an incredible opportunity to learn from one another, discover new strategies for sustainability and impact, and strengthen the connections that make our sector resilient. The challenges facing our communities are complex, but so is our collective expertise.

This summit is designed to equip you with practical tools, inspire fresh thinking, and remind you that you're not alone in this work. The Alabama Association of Nonprofits is here as your trusted partner—helping you navigate change, amplify your voice, and achieve greater impact.

Thank you for the vital work you do every day across our state.

Together, we are building a better Alabama.
