2026 Washington State Nonprofit Conference

Application closes March 6, 2026

Thanks to our sponsors and funders, Nonprofit Association of Washington is pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships for the 2026 Washington State Nonprofit Conference (WSNC). The Conference theme is Nonprofits Get It Done and features a unique blend of online and in-person experiences.

Virtual Conference Days: May 6-7 will offer a variety of live online content including dynamic keynote speakers, action focused workshops, a virtual exhibitor center, and more!
In-Person Regional WSNC Days: The online programming is accompanied by two regional WSNC locations in Tacoma (May 11) and Spokane (May 15) that will create vital spaces for in-person connection, knowledge sharing, and celebration.

Nonprofit Association of Washington is committed to creating a Conference that represents Washington state's vibrant diversity. This includes (but is not limited to) racial diversity, ethnic diversity, gender identity, socioeconomic and geographic status, sexual orientation, ability, citizenship status, language, religion, and national origin, among other identities.

Scholarships are offered to provide increased access to historically under resourced organizations and communities. Employees of for-profit companies and consultants are not eligible.

Priority is given to applicants who did not receive a scholarship to attend last year's Conference. If you received a scholarship to the 2025 WSNC, we invite you to share this application with other nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers that you know who would benefit from a scholarship to the Washington State Nonprofit Conference.

To support attendance from as many nonprofit organizations as possible, scholarships are typically limited to one per organization. If multiple people from the same organization are interested in applying for a scholarship, we ask that your organization coordinate and prioritize the applications submitted. If three or more of your colleagues wish to attend the Conference, consider becoming a NAWA Member to take advantage of the All Access Group Rate.

If awarded, recipients pay 30% of the full price registration plus sales tax:

$123 for All Access registration rather than the full price of $414
$78 for a Virtual registration rather than the full price of $259
$74 for an In-Person Only registration rather than the full price of $248

All listed prices include sales tax. Why am I being charged sales tax?
