In times of crisis, vulnerable populations are often hit hardest. How is the social sector rising to meet this unprecedented challenge? Join three leaders from across the U.S. social sector landscape during this unique moment to explore the state of the nonprofit sector, innovative solutions to support individuals and communities, and how funders should adapt their practices to better support nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve.
