Nonprofit Leadership Initiative (NPLI) is a program of the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region and utilizes the Community Foundation’s professional services and staff.

Cost

Our half-day Leadership Forums are available to nonprofit organizations within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region’s service area for a fee of $25. The Nonprofit Leadership Initiative (NPLI), a program within the Community Foundation, serves the same geographic area—including Calumet, Outagamie, Shawano, and Waupaca counties, as well as the Neenah-Menasha portion of Winnebago County.

This reduced fee is made possible through the support and generosity of NPLI’s donors.

Nonprofit leaders located outside of our service area (Oshkosh, Green Bay, etc.) are welcome to attend for a slightly increased fee of $35.

All registration fees help cover the cost of presenters and refreshments.

Please note: Most sessions will not be recorded due to the sensitive and interactive nature of the content. If a session will be recorded, participants will be notified in advance.

“Another purposeful, engaging, and impactful event by NPLI- thank you!! Great resources and ideas that can be immediately implemented to further NP missions and the important service work taking place. I especially appreciated the plug shared for the value in coalition building to drive advocacy work. There were also great networking opportunities with leaders passionate about their work, and a diversity of perspectives which is always an asset!”
