Satell Institute 2026 Pittsburgh Nonprofit Conference

March 3, 2026 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EST)

Description

Partners in Impact
Lessons from Funding Relationships that Work
March 3 | 8:00–11:00 AM
Hosted by the Pittsburgh Pirates

The Satell Institute’s Spring Nonprofit Conference convenes nonprofit and corporate leaders for a focused morning of candid conversation, shared learning, and collaboration around the most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities facing the nonprofit sector.

Designed to move beyond surface-level discussion, this gathering creates space for honest dialogue and practical takeaways that strengthen nonprofit leadership and deepen effective cross-sector partnerships. Through guided conversation and peer-to-peer engagement, participants will explore what strong funding relationships look like in practice—and how Corporate Social Responsibility can align with nonprofit impact in ways that are strategic, sustainable, and responsive to real-world needs.
