The Summit will be a learning environment where we can deepen our understanding about how to meet the nonprofit racial equity pledge and to advance racial justice and equity within our institutions and in our community.It is also a call to action for nonprofits.
The Summit is hosted by Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits (SVCN), Thrive Alliance, and Sacred Heart Community Service. The Summit is designed for the region's nonprofit organizations leadership, staff, and board members.
The art for the Summit -- No Going Back -- was created by Bay Area artist and activist Favianna Rodriguez.
