The power of the people is stronger than the people in power." –Wael Ghonim 

At NPQ, our mission is to advance critical conversations that support and develop nonprofit, philanthropy, and social movement policies and practices. We’re inviting you into those conversations, to build collective power through practical, equity-centered insights.

We're launching a new Ask a Nonprofit Expert advice column to connect NPQ Leading Edge members with seasoned practitioners who understand the real challenges of building just, thriving organizations.

When you face complex decisions about board dynamics, equity practices, or sustainable funding, you deserve more than generic advice. You deserve wisdom from leaders who've walked the path. Get personalized, actionable guidance on the questions that keep you up at night—all grounded in equity-centered leadership principles and social justice values. 

Your Questions. Community Wisdom. Collective Power.
