At a time when nonprofits are stretched thin, communities are under pressure, and policy landscapes are shifting fast, the 2025 Collaborative Conference calls us to meet this moment — together.
“Meeting the Moment – Rooted Together” is both a rallying cry and a grounding principle. It calls us to build deep roots in shared purpose and collective action — so we can carry each other forward and grow what’s next.
This year’s conference is designed to:
-
Energize a statewide movement built on nonprofit solidarity and strategic advocacy; and
-
Create space for joy, awe, and real talk — because movement-building also requires rest, relationships, and connection.
Underneath it all is the truth that our resilience runs deeper than any one organization. The roots we tend together are what sustain us through change.

TICKET OPTIONS
Here, you’ll find pricing for individual attendees as well as entire teams, for just one day as well as the whole she-bang. We’ve even got student rates for those among us who aren’t “officially” in the field – yet. Individual tickets are for those who will be "flying solo" from their organization, or attending with 1-2 others from their org. Team tickets are designed for those interested in bringing 4+ colleagues (meeting the moment is a little less daunting, dare we say, even fun, when you've got company - why not experience the 2025 Collaborative Conference with your whole team!). In an effort to offer equitable options for organizations of different sizes, we’ve created tiered pricing based on your organization’s budget size. We are relying on the honor system here so please select the right option for your organization, according to your own budgetary needs at this time.
As noted here, members of PANO & GPNP receive special pricing - 43% off regular rates!
*With the generous support of our many sponsors, we continue to be able to offer much lower pricing than would’ve been possible for an in-person event like this in the past. Even still, we recognize that many factors continue to impact individuals, organizations, and our budgets differently, and we don’t want fees to be a barrier to attendance. Contact us for information about scholarships, made possible by our fabulous Access & Equity Sponsors.
