Nonprofits are under increasing pressure as they navigate global funding changes, fast-moving technology, and shifting policy environments.
A new webinar on June 17, 2025, at 6:00 PM EAT will explore how civil society organizations can prepare for the future despite these mounting uncertainties.
The session, titled “How NGOs Can Prepare for the Future Amid Chaos, Funding Shifts & AI,” will feature Trista Harris, a philanthropic futurist and president of FutureGood, alongside Wafa Abboud, Vice President of Human Resources at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA).
In the one-hour conversation and Q&A, the speakers will examine what it takes for nonprofits to become resilient and adaptive in an era defined by constant change.
The discussion will center on how organizations can stay grounded and forward-looking as they contend with:
- Disruptions in global funding flows
- Rapid developments in artificial intelligence and digital tools
- A volatile policy and regulatory climate
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for nonprofit professionals involved in leadership, strategy, or organizational development.
It is particularly relevant for those seeking practical insights on building long-term resilience and adjusting to fast-changing operating conditions.
Why It Matters
Nonprofits are being asked to respond to more complex challenges with fewer resources and tighter timelines.
The traditional ways of planning and delivering services are no longer enough to meet emerging realities—from donor realignment to automation.
This webinar offers an opportunity to step back and assess how the sector can move from short-term reaction to long-term readiness.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in communication, operations, and decision-making, many organizations are questioning how to integrate these tools responsibly.
Meanwhile, changes in funding—both in volume and focus—are forcing a re-evaluation of program models and partnerships.
At the same time, policy shifts in various regions are creating new compliance requirements and uncertainty about how NGOs can engage at scale.
For nonprofit leaders, the challenge isn’t just surviving disruption—it’s leading through it with clarity and confidence.
Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all solution, the conversation will aim to equip participants with frameworks for thinking ahead and adapting on their terms.
It’s a timely space for those who need to plan for what’s next, without losing focus on what matters now.
