The 2027 Susquehanna Nonprofit Summit will be held at the Penn Harris Hotel & Conference Center on September 9, 2027.

The Susquehanna Nonprofit Summit brings together nonprofit professionals and community leaders from across the lower Susquehanna Valley for a day of learning, connection, and collaboration.

We are committed to creating a platform for meaningful discussions, collaborations, and insights that drive positive change in the nonprofit sector. Our conference is designed to inspire, educate, and empower professionals to make a lasting impact on their communities and the world.

The April 2026 summit brought together 300 nonprofit professionals and 18 speakers over 11 sessions!

We are grateful to York County Community Foundation, Adams County Community Foundation, The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, Lancaster County Community Foundation, The High Center, and other partners for your commitment to supporting nonprofits across our region!

Great community investment requires more than great ideas. It requires someone who can turn vision into action, build trusted partnerships, and make sure every detail supports meaningful impact.

We're searching for a leader who is:
✨ Strategic
✨ Collaborative
✨ Data-informed
✨ Relationship-focused
✨ Detail-oriented

Someone who enjoys strengthening and improving grantmaking systems and processes, fostering transparency and accountability that build trust with community partners, and helping communities achieve better health outcomes.

Sound like you? Let's talk.
