*Discount Code for NCW nonprofit leaders: NPISCHOLAR2026
Welcome to the 2026 Central Washington Conference for the Greater Good!
Where nonprofits, philanthropy, and others working for the greater good come together to learn, connect, and be inspired.
Nonprofit leaders are navigating real headwinds, and they are responding to change with grit, resilience, and perseverance. In 2026, a Fire Horse year often used to describe momentum and courageous action in uncertain times, nonprofits are moving forward through transition. The Central Washington Conference for the Greater Good creates space to learn, connect, and be inspired—helping leaders carry momentum forward, build confidence, and act with clarity and purpose.
This is also a conference about building power together: power rooted in equity, built through relationships, and grounded in shared values to advance the communities we serve.
Together we ground our work in shared purpose, strengthen how we turn service into action, and reinforce unity as a collective force for good.
