Danielle Riviere, Interim Executive Director of The Centre on Philanthropy, said, “The nonprofit sector, like so many other sectors around the world, is facing a huge transition as the baby-boomer generation is beginning to retire. With this in mind, we wanted to engage the next generation of potential leaders and were excited to find so many young people eager to learn more about the role they can play in the nonprofit sector.”

A few weeks ago, the Under 40s planning group surveyed The Centre on Philanthropy nonprofit members. The survey asked a series of questions. Ranging to how the charities would benefit from support in volunteering, staff and board engagement.
“It is vital to build relationships and trust with leaders in the sector. Our event is the starting point in developing those relationships.”
