SUMMARY:Communicating Values in Volatile Times - MIND THE GAP
DESCRIPTION:How do we address the gap between nonprofits and foundations? \nFoundations and nonprofits are navigating an increasingly volatile environment and determining how best to connect with audiences and maintain commitments to serving the public good. Despite the many values we hold in common and the staggering need for our services\, the gap between nonprofits and foundations is widening. \nComNetwork SF Bay Area\, a local chapter of the Communications Network\, is gathering foundation and nonprofit leaders to share how mission-driven leaders working in communications are approaching their messaging and building resilience when the principles and people fundamental to social change work are under attack. \nWe invite you to join us for “Mind the Gap\,” the third event in our Communicating Values in Volatile Times series in San Francisco on April 16\, 2026 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm\, with an informal reception afterwards from 4:00 – 5:00 pm. The first part of the event will feature a conversation between Dwayne Marsh\, President and CEO of Northern California Grantmakers (NCG)\, Glen Galaich\, CEO of the Stupski Foundation\, and Seara Grundhoefer\, Senior Analyst for Research at the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP). \nCEP recently released a report called A Sector in Crisis identifying the startling gapbetween what nonprofit organizations say they need during these times and how foundations think about their role in helping nonprofits to navigate this moment. The speakers will briefly discuss the report’s findings\, their perspectives on what is happening in the field\, and what they are hearing and seeing from their respective partners and members. Their remarks will be followed by discussion of how foundations and nonprofits are communicating their values\, and participants will delve into possibilities for greater alignment within the social sector. \nThis event is organized by Regan Douglass of Sparkwise Communications and Minna Jung of RALLY. It is hosted by RALLY\, the Stupski Foundation\, and ComNetwork SF Bay Area\, serving hundreds of professionals using the power of communications to advance positive change in the world. It is free to attend\, and attendees do not need to be members of The Communications Network. \nEVENT DETAILS: Communicating Values in Volatile Times – MIND THE GAP \nWHEN: Thursday\, April 16\, 2026. Presentations and discussion will be from 2:30 – 4:00 pm\, followed by a social hour with drinks and light eats. \nWHERE: Stupski Foundation\, 90 New Montgomery Street\, Suite 1100\, San Francisco \nWHO: Event brought to you by ComNetwork SF Bay Area\, RALLY\, and Sparkwise Communications with space generously provided by Stupski Foundation. \nRSVP/REGISTER HERE! \nThis is an in-person event only (no remote option). Advance registration is required. We will send additional details about the program and format to all registered attendees. If you have specific questions about the event\, please reach out to Regan Douglass at sparkwisecommunications@gmail.com.
