About this Event

Join us in tackling new challenges in equity, policy, and community care. Participate in the premier networking and policy conference for nonprofit leaders and partners.

The SF Human Services Network (HSN) invites you to support our upcoming New Realities Conference. This annual gathering brings together leaders in the nonprofit sector to connect and strategize around changes in our work to uplift communities. Help us share insights on shifts in local government relations, nonprofit operations challenges, media training, perspectives from the community, and more.


Our goal is to mobilize nonprofit leaders and teams to participate in collective action. We will amplify solutions and share strategies to better serve vulnerable community members together.


The event is on Friday, October 24th at St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco. Your support is essential to engaging in a conversation about real-world solutions for our community’s most pressing challenges.
