2026 POTS Impact Forum

As communities across New York are facing rising economic pressure, food and housing insecurity, mental health challenges, and growing strain on social support systems. The scale and complexity of these issues require organizations and institutions to work together in new and strategic ways. The 2026 POTS Impact Forum will examine how partnerships across sectors can expand impact and create solutions that would be difficult to achieve independently.

Part of the Solution, in partnership with NYU Wagner, is pleased to host this year's Impact Forum, which will bring together members of the nonprofit, academic, advocacy, and creative sectors to discuss how successful collaborations are built and sustained.

Speakers will explore topics including global strategies implemented at the local level, collective advocacy efforts, university-community partnerships, and the role of personal initiative and creativity in mobilizing social action. Panelists will reflect on the challenges they have faced, the lessons they have learned, and how collaboration has enabled them to achieve outcomes beyond what they could accomplish alone.
