2026 Nonprofit Federal Policy Response Network

Nonprofit Federal Policy Response Network

Every 2^nd and 4^th  Friday | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM | Via Zoom

Offered in Partnership with: The Pittsburgh Foundation

The Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) and The Pittsburgh Foundation are partnering to launch Nonprofit Federal Policy Response Network, a bi-monthly virtual meeting series for interested nonprofit leaders in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The content of these sessions will be driven by the needs of participants and will provide a space to:

• Understand emerging federal policy changes and how they may affect nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve  
• Share experiences with peers and learn how other organizations are adapting and reimagining their work
• Explore how advocacy can be incorporated into your organization’s work, including understanding what nonprofits can legally do and how to collaborate on advocacy efforts
• Learn about helpful resources available to nonprofits to respond to federal changes, including advocacy opportunities, capacity-building tools, and technical assistance
• Explore opportunities for regional collaboration among nonprofits, philanthropy, and community partners

Our goal is to create a trusted space for nonprofit leaders at all organizational levels to stay informed, share insights, and work collectively to ensure Southwestern Pennsylvania’s communities continue to have the support they need.

All nonprofit organizations in the 10-county Southwestern Pennsylvania region are invited to participate. Space is limited, so we invite each organization to send one representative who holds a leadership role. These meetings will be held twice a month via Zoom.

Note: You do not need to be a member of PANO to join these conversations. 

Login/Call-In Instructions | Instructions and call-in will be included in your registration confirmation. Once you register for the first session, you may use the same link for all other sessions in 2026.

Session dates include those listed below
