Featured Speaker: Tory Martin, Director of Communications and Strategic Partnerships, Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University

It’s remarkable to think that five years have passed since the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our daily lives and presented us with challenges unlike any we’d faced before. Half a decade later, we’re left to reflect on how much has truly changed — and what remains the same.

One constant certainly remains: the growing demand for the essential services and resources nonprofits provide to help communities thrive. Five years on, the call to support and sustain these organizations is louder than ever.

The Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy’s 11 Trends in Philanthropy for 2025 report explores many of these issues and others — attempting to look beyond the pendulum swing and into a future where innovations in philanthropy and community-building may yet achieve the transformations we all hope to see.

Join the Johnson Center’s Tory Martin and your NNCG peers for a robust conversation on major shifts and forces at work in the field and how current events may impact your work now and in the future.
