Today, we join the nation in mourning the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson.

He spent more than 60 years fighting for the communities that needed it most. At CNM, we are proud to support the organizations carrying that mission forward.

Rest in power, Reverend.

Starting and sustaining a nonprofit in 2026 takes more than passion and a great mission. Today’s leaders need to navigate a complex legal, political, and funding landscape - especially under political unrest and increasingly limited resources.

Do you identify as a first-generation professional in a nonprofit leadership role?

We’d love for you to join us! CNM and BDO USA will host a brief, virtual info session on January 26 to learn more about our upcoming First Generation Professionals Cohort Program kicking off March 13.

Today’s nonprofit leaders are navigating unprecedented financial pressure, funding instability, compliance risk, and workforce strain – often while carrying complex personal relationships with money, power, and responsibility. This cohort was designed to meet that reality.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Dr. King wrote these prophetic words from a jail cell in 1963, but they read like a warning for today’s turbulent times. Across LA County, immigrant communities and nonprofit leaders are navigating fear, disinvestment, and rising demand with fewer resources and protections.

This moment calls for honesty, courage, and leadership that refuses to normalize harm.

👉 Read our latest blog honoring Dr. King and how nonprofits are holding the line for our communities.
