Light of Dawnn Awards – February 2022

The Light of Dawnn Awards honor the legacy of youth leader Dawnn Ashley Jaffier, who demonstrated an unwavering commitment to building stronger communities. Three awards are given out each year during this beautiful ceremony to front-line nonprofit professionals who, while not in highly-visible roles, have far-reaching and positive impacts in their community. Find out more about this year’s event and the recipients of the 2022 Awards. 

Regional Meetings – Summer 2022

Every year, MNN hosts Regional Meetings in each of Massachusetts’ eight regions. The meetings will cover policy updates of importance to the sector, review the new and expanded MNN services and programs, provide regional nonprofit data and updates, guided conversations by regional leaders, and will include time for moderated virtual networking for attendees to share best practices and to begin collaborating on issues important to the health of the sector and their regions. We hope that the conversations that emerge both within and after these meetings will help us become stronger together. Click here to learn more.
