Learning Communities
Learning Communities offers a six-month fellowship experience where our participants determine a shared problem question, learn from experts in the field, and work with partner organizations to enact change within their organizations. At the end of the program, participants are invited to share their experience and lessons with the broader nonprofit community through Nonprofit New York events and programs.
You’ll connect with professionals in similar roles and participate in facilitated conversations with field experts based on what YOU want to learn about. Each cohort is unique and each experience is personalized to meet the needs of our cohort participants.
Phase 1: Planning
During an in-person planning session, participants meet for a half-day session at the Ford Foundation to determine a shared area of focus.
Phase 2: Learning
Participants engage in five to six workshops facilitated by experts in the shared area of focus. These workshops are a mix of in-person and virtual sessions.
Phase 3: Acting
Participants take what they have learned over the past five months and develop a plan to implement change in their organizations. The final presentations outline participants’ progress on this plan.
Cohort Testimonials
Participation in Nonprofit New York’s inaugural Learning Community Experience was well worth my time and a rewarding experience. The program, organized around the organizational needs of the participants, provided a broad curriculum presented by an array of experts in the relevant topics.

I highly recommend other leaders to engage in the Learning Communities when one for your particular discipline rolls around, as it will help you to transform your organization and it'll also serve as a great way to contribute towards your own professional development.

Every year, we invite our community to join us for our Annual Meeting of Members. This well-attended event provides an opportunity for our members to elect Nonprofit New York’s Board of Directors and engage in a sector-wide discussion to inform and shape Nonprofit New York’s program priorities.
We last gathered on May 22, 2024 where our community elected six new Board Members and learned about the critical challenges facing the nonprofit workforce. Experts explored recent research on workers’ needs, initiatives to define NYC’s true cost of living, and workforce shortages. The conversation emphasized the importance of livable wages, benefits, and leadership opportunities while also celebrating significant workforce achievements in the sector.
Our Annual Meeting includes:
- Voting new members to Nonprofit New York’s Board of Directors
- A cutting-edge panel discussion on relevant issues
