2026 Finance Leader

Community of Practice

Overview

Many nonprofit finance leaders, regardless of mission or impact area, face similar challenges in their function. These challenges may become more difficult to address due to isolation in their role and limited opportunities for peer support. Our 2026 Finance Leader Community of Practice offers a collaborative, trusted space where finance leaders across the sector can discuss shared challenges, exchange tools, and strengthen their organizations and the communities they serve.

“I enjoyed coming together with other YWCA finance leadership — and having everyone provide input to the topic because we're all going through it. It was really good to hear from everyone.”
