Every month Philanthropy Northwest publishes a series of “virtual roundtable” interviews with a group of nonprofit leaders to discuss in detail a common issue affecting the sector. For their March 2016 roundtable, they chose to feature seven leaders of the Pacific Northwest’s statewide nonprofit associations.

501 Commons executive director Nancy Long joins Janice Fulkerson of Idaho Nonprofit Center, Alison McCaffree of Washington Nonprofits, Liz Moore of Montana Nonprofit Association, Jody Shields of Wyoming Nonprofit Network, Jim White of Nonprofit Association of Oregon, and Laurie Wolf of The Foraker Group to discuss the core challenges affecting their respective states’ philanthropic community.

Please take some time and read Nancy’s thoughts about the significance of capacity building funding, the importance of nonprofits using modern technology to further their missions, what philanthropic funders need to understand about making the greatest impact, how to drive the best and brightest talent to our sector, and other current issues 501 Commons and other like-minded organizations are tackling every day.
