At a pivotal moment for the nonprofit sector, the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy (CNP) at the Urban Institute will host the first in a series of 30th-anniversary convenings, beginning with an exploration of the rapidly evolving relationship between government and nonprofits. Centered on three guiding questions—What forces have shaped that relationship in the past? What is happening now? And what might the relationship look like in the future?—this convening will look at the historical relationship between government and nonprofits, assess current disruptions, and help shape how the field understands and prepares for what lies ahead. As nonprofits continue to play a critical role in supporting communities, driving economic activity, and demonstrating resilience during a tumultuous period, this gathering offers a rare chance to step back, reflect on the sector’s trajectory, and explore how nonprofits might chart a path forward.
