Nonprofit data capacity summits 2026
We’re excited to announce multiple locations for the Nonprofit Data Capacity Summits.
To build off the momentum of the 2025 Toronto Nonprofit Data Capacity Summit, we have expanded to 3 additional locations across Canada: Calgary, Winnipeg, and Halifax.
Each of these events bring together nonprofit staff, leaders, intermediaries, funders, and government to engage in meaningful cross-sector conversations.
The Nonprofit Data Capacity Summits are designed to foster collaboration from the local to the national level and will spotlight local initiatives and strategies to help strengthen the sector’s capacity to drive data-informed impact for the communities it serves.

Insightful presentations from leaders in the field
Breakout sessions on building data capacity
Tools, resources, and shared learning from across the sector
