Nonprofit Policy Conversations

Woman speaking enthusiastically into a megaphone beside text 'Join the policy conversation - Nonprofit Policy Conversations.'

Nonprofit Policy Conversations bring together local nonprofit leaders, partners, and decision-makers to discuss public policy issues shaping our nonprofit work and affecting the North Carolina communities we serve.

During each gathering hosted with our regional partners, we'll discuss key policy developments including:

  • Federal grant disruptions in 2025 and early 2026
  • Potential changes to rules about nonpartisan election-related activities by 501(c)(3)s
  • Whether nonprofit diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and policies are now "illegal discrimination"
  • Implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for nonprofits and the people they serve
  • Updates on the state budget process
  • A preview of major state policy issues affecting nonprofits in 2026.

Stay tuned as additional 2026 dates and locations are confirmed.
