SUMMARY:2024 MCN/MCF Joint Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:By bringing back a joint conference for the first time in 12 years\, MCN and MCF aim to create two dynamic days of cross-sector reflection\, peer networking\, honest conversation\, and learning. This intentional partnership spotlights the best of Minnesota’s charitable sector and showcases over 30-years of collaboration between the state’s nonprofits and philanthropic communities \nCome see the Greater Giving team! \nAt this year’s conference\, we’ll focus on the theme of Mosaic: Meaningful Collaboration in a Complex World. \nThe layers inherent in a “complex world” are infinite. In our case\, we acknowledge the multiplicity of layers in the relationship between funders and nonprofits—layers that when peeled back reveal joy and potential as well as tension and struggle. When we’re aware of and willing to participate in this complexity the work of our sectors represents a mosaic come to life. Our possibility as imaginative\, nurturing\, and justice-seeking change-makers blooms in full as we embrace symbiosis. \nWe invited Thomasina Topbear\, a self-taught artist\, muralist\, illustrator\, and organizer from the Oglala Lakota and Santee Dakota Nations to interpret the theme through an original design. \nHere’s what Thomasina says about how her creation brings Mosaic: Meaningful Collaboration in a Complex World to life: \n“I used the flower and pollinator relationship to show meaningful collaboration. The background represents the bigger world using the sunbeams and Dakhota style stars laid out in a Mosaic type style … I also added some bees to help strengthen the idea of working together.” \nWe invite you to join MCN and MCF to consider individual\, organizational\, and sector-based actions that can build connections\, increase cooperation\, and expand our missions’ impact across the state. By the end of the event\, you will shift the way you think about your role in the sector\, build new relationships\, and acquire timely tools and skills. Let the cross-pollination begin! \nThis inspiring and information-rich conference will feature: \n\n\n50+ breakouts on timely topics with a mixture of skill-building and action-oriented sessions and big-idea\, vision-oriented sessions \n\n\nPeer roundtables over a meal \n\n\nTwo keynote sessions that offer equal parts application and inspiration \n\n\nAward luncheon featuring the presentation of the 2024 Minnesota Nonprofit Mission Awards \n\n\nExhibitor Showcase featuring 70+ resource vendors and prizes \n\n\nFacilitated networking and wellness and creative activities \n\n\nSocial Hour with food\, drink\, and prizes \n\n\nAnd so much more! \n\n\nAre you ready to collaborate on a beautiful future?
