Every fall, nonprofit leaders from across the state gather for the annual Conference for North Carolina Nonprofits to connect with nonprofit colleagues, learn from experts and practitioners, and share resources and insights that fortify our work and our sector. Check out highlights and photos from last year's event.

It’s been almost 10 years since we’ve hosted our conference in the Charlotte region. We’re looking forward to being back there on OCTOBER 20-21, 2026 at the Embassy Suites in Concord and partnering with Explore Cabarrus to add some local flavor!
