MUNCIE, IN – Tickets are now available for Nonprofit Support Network’s fourth annual Nonprofit Summit, taking place Wednesday, October 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Horizon Convention Center in Muncie.
This year’s Nonprofit Summit is built around the real challenges nonprofit professionals are navigating every day. Breakout sessions focus on fundraising, leadership, AI, data, human resources, donor trust, legal considerations and compassion fatigue. The goal is simple: give nonprofit professionals practical ideas they can take back to their organizations while creating space to connect with others who understand the work.
“Nonprofit professionals are constantly balancing the needs of their organizations and the communities they serve,” said Jena Ashby, Relationship and Resource Director at Nonprofit Support Network. “The summit gives them an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, learn from experienced professionals and connect with others who are navigating many of the same challenges.”
The keynote, Why Not You?, will be presented by Stefanie Adams, CEO of WNY People Development. Adams will challenge attendees to push past self-doubt and recognize their own potential as leaders. Her work focuses on building high-impact teams, developing leaders, and engaging multigenerational workforces.
“Nonprofit leaders spend so much of their time pouring into their organizations, their teams and their communities,” said Adams. “I want Why Not You? to give them space to pause, recognize their own potential and remember that they don’t have to navigate leadership alone.”
Tickets are $100 per person, with $25 student tickets available. Registration is now open at

The 2026 Nonprofit Summit is made possible in part through a special grant from the George and Frances Ball Foundation, along with support from the Summit’s sponsors and community partners.
