Nonprofit Staten Island is excited to get planning underway for the 12th Annual Staten Island Nonprofit Conference, to be hosted on October 30, 2024 at the Hilton Garden Inn. To honor the tremendous talent, expertise, and insight within the diverse, cross-sector network that comes together year-round to support Staten Island nonprofit organizations and communities, we invited interested parties to submit a presentation proposal for inclusion in this year’s conference programming.
Thank you to all who submitted! Our conference programming has now been finalized by NPSI’s Conference Committee and we can’t wait to share the details with you later this month.
The Annual Staten Island Nonprofit Conference has emerged as a premier event that brings together over 300 nonprofit professionals and stakeholders from Staten Island and beyond. This year, we look forward to again offering a diverse and dynamic program with content tracks built around the three core pillars that guide our work:
Community Voice
Through its work, NPSI aims to elevate and amplify the voices of community members and nonprofit professionals who are historically and presently underrepresented. Programs, services, and conference content supports organizations in building capacity around advocacy, empowerment, resident engagement, and positive change, and reflects NPSI’s commitment to ensuring diverse perspectives are heard, valued, and integrated into decision-making processes.
Community Building
This pillar focuses on catalysts for positive social change through community-building initiatives. Programs, services, and conference content supports organizations in fostering collaboration, relationship-/trust-building, and enhancing workplace environments and/or community spaces. This work lay a foundation for more connected and enriched neighborhoods, community partnerships, and service provision.
Community Response
Nonprofit organizations are known to possess tremendous agility, often delivering swift, community-driven responses during times of need. Programs, services, and conference content supports organizations in developing organizational agility, responsiveness, resourcefulness, and sustainability. Through a focus on community response, NPSI and its member organizations build capacity to address urgent community challenges, enhance service quality or availability, and facilitate local solutions.
This year’s conference will feature a fourth track focused on A Thriving Staten Island.
In practice, the core pillars that drive NPSI’s work often intersect to foster an environment where nonprofits and community members can grow, connect, and innovate together, advancing a vibrant and thriving Staten Island. This “bonus track” is designed to encompass a wide range of topics, including those that may overlap with other pillars or introduce new capacity-building ideas. We are excited to offer creative, interactive, and innovative content throughout our program portfolio and conference agenda aimed at building stronger, more resilient nonprofits.
