Nonprofit training session

During this webinar Bonnie Chavez will explore the often-overlooked connection between DEI and burnout and why compassionate leadership is not a “nice to have,” but a critical strategy for sustainability. You’ll discover how small but intentional shifts can reduce costs, improve retention, and reinforce your organization’s values from the inside out.

You’ll learn:
  • how compassionate communication improves staff-to-staff relationships and reduces burnout;
  • what employee-centered leadership looks like in practice and how to apply it immediately; and,

Networking event/social meet …

Presented by the Nonprofit Broad

 

Nonprofit Connections RI is a monthly meet up for nonprofits and fans that takes place around the Ocean State. It is a free event to connect and collaborate!

The purpose of putting this together is to help build a stronger community of shared support and resources one relationship at a time. Because, we do more, together. 

It is important to note that this is not a typical networking event. It isn't about collecting business cards or pitching services. It is about building relationships and community starting with a conversation. It is about bringing nonprofit folks and business owners together to connect with one another. It might lead to finding your next board member or a new client, but right now it is sort of the 'meet cute' moment as they say in showbiz.

Our gatherings resumed on September 17, 2025 and take place the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6 pm to 8 pm:
