Americans Don't Trust Institutions: Why that Matters for your Nonprofit and What to Do About It

Trust in institutions -- in business, government, media, and yes, nonprofits (though not to quite the same extent) -- has been declining for more than 50 years. As organizations that rely vitally on trust, trust is a dynamic that nonprofits need to understand and address. In this session we'll review the latest research on institutional trust, the particular challenges of building trust in an election year, and how to maintain your good name among diverse constituencies in an increasingly polarized environment.

If You Want to Go Far, Go Together

Across the State of New York, mission-driven nonprofits wrestle with and respond to a variety of challenges at local, regional, and state levels. To sustainably advance their strategic priorities, it takes networks of service agencies collaborating to address the multifaceted challenges they face. Nonprofits may also struggle with persistent internal challenges that threaten the pursuit of their missions. History teaches us that despite organizational constraints and the current environment we are stronger together. This keynote address will model “unity in action” by highlighting the circumstances, challenges, and actions taken to organize nonprofits and allies towards a common goal.
