2026 Nonprofit Advocacy Summit and Day on the Hill

Nonprofits in Tennessee have the power to make a real difference, and connecting with state lawmakers is like turning up the volume on their amazing work! By building friendships with these influential folks, nonprofits can share the incredible stories of the people they help and shine a light on the positive changes they’re making. It’s a chance to show lawmakers firsthand how they’re improving lives across the state. Plus, by teaming up with legislators, nonprofits can unlock exciting opportunities for funding and support, making their impact even bigger! It’s all about joining forces to create a brighter future for Tennessee communities.

Tennessee Nonprofit Network is excited to announce that we will host our 3rd Annual Advocacy Summit on Tuesday, February 24th and Nonprofit Day on the Hill on Wednesday, February 25th in Nashville, TN to create visibility for Tennessee nonprofits at the State Capitol and help our nonprofit partners connect with policymakers.
