[SHAWNEE] OKCNP Shawnee Regional Symposium

Oklahoma's nonprofit sector is navigating real financial uncertainty; shifting funding streams, tighter budgets, and the human toll that comes with both. Hosted by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits in partnership with the Avedis Foundation, the OKCNP Shawnee Regional Symposium, themed Steady Ground: Building Financial Resilience for Oklahoma Nonprofits, brings nonprofit leaders and staff together for a day of practical strategy and honest conversation about building financial resilience in a changing landscape.

The day includes a keynote-style session on financial recovery and the real impact of funding loss, sessions on fundraising strategies for today's environment and strategic storytelling for mission-driven organizations, a policy and advocacy panel, and a closing roundtable on what it all means when you're back at the office.

The symposium is designed with nonprofit leaders and staff from Pottawatomie County and the surrounding region in mind, though all Oklahoma nonprofits are welcome to attend. A catered breakfast and lunch will be provided. Space is limited, so register today to reserve your seat!

By the end of the OKCNP Shawnee Regional Symposium, attendees will be able to:

• Recognize the financial and human impact of funding loss on nonprofit organizations, drawing on both the financial and emotional toll of the current environment.
• Apply fundraising strategies suited to today's funding landscape.
• Use strategic storytelling to build stakeholder trust, strengthen donor retention, and shape their organization's narrative before someone else does.
• Connect advocacy efforts and policy developments to their organization's mission.
• Translate the day's strategies into concrete, actionable next steps when returning to your community.
