At the heart of the Network is the simple belief of building equity by serving the individuals and organizations of the 24:1 community.
Equity doesn’t happen by accident; it takes intention, partnership and resources.
As a part of our commitment to building equity for the people of the 24:1 community to live, learn and leave a legacy, we are introducing a new Nonprofit Sustainability Series in 2026.
This four-part series will focus on various aspects of nonprofit sustainability, including fundraising, and will equip Network members with the tools to strengthen their organizations for long-term success.
With training led by reputable experts in nonprofit sustainability, we hope you can join us for the opportunity to collaborate and learn as we continue to serve the individuals and families in the 24:1 community.
