Why Attend?
Join us at the 2026 Washington State Nonprofit Conference, where we proudly champion the message “Nonprofits Get It Done,” and celebrate you – the leaders, staff, and volunteers who make Washington’s communities stronger every day. First introduced through a powerful campaign led by the National Council of Nonprofits, this year’s theme recognizes the steadfast dedication and creativity that nonprofits bring to solving our state’s most pressing challenges.
WSNC is a rallying point for nonprofit leaders, advocates, and changemakers to connect, learn, and amplify their impact. Come be part of the movement that reminds the world: when it comes to building thriving communities, nonprofits get it done!
Here’s what past attendees have to say about their WSNC experience:
“I’m so pleased it wasn’t just “business as usual” but rather thoughtful engagement about being proactive and strategic in this crisis moment. Great to me among allies!”
“I left feeling grounded, grateful, and excited for what’s ahead.”
“Thank you for the well organized sessions. I have been learning a lot through our speakers and other participants.”
“We truly appreciated being a part of the event, it was so welcoming. I seriously cannot wait for next year’s event.”
