Coalition for Nonprofit Equity:
Collective Action for DC Nonprofits
You are cordially invited to attend the first Nonprofit People's Forum: “Rally on the Roof”
Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2025 from 4-6 on the roof (5th floor)
Location: MLK Library at 901 G Street NW.
Join 100+ local nonprofit, community, and government leaders to hear how organizations are doing right now and to amplify the suffering of nonprofit organizations, employees, and the communities we serve. While the Mayor's budget has yet to be released, we will hear from the DC Fiscal Policy Institute and a few other leaders who will inform us about how potential reductions to essential social services will harm local residents and the nonprofit infrastructure. This event is organized by the Coalition for Nonprofit Equity (CNE) with DC Action and Fair Chance and hosted as part of Spur Local's National Small Nonprofit Summit.

What we do
We work with the nonprofit sector, government partners, philanthropy, and other national and local allies to achieve systemic change that improves the quality of life for District residents by strengthening the advocacy and service capacity of the sector.
How we do it
We build and maintain relationships with elected officials, city administrators, local and national nonprofit, philanthropic and other allies to educate and increase the understanding of government leaders about the challenges nonprofits face. We advocate and mobilize campaigns to ensure the voice of community based nonprofits and nonprofit workers are heard. By engaging stakeholders, the Coalition increases the power of DC nonprofits, nonprofit workers, and residents.
