About the UpWard Summit
The UpWard Summit is an opportunity for nonprofit professionals across East Tennessee to come together for a motivating day of camaraderie, conversation, collaboration and, most of all, ACTION. The day offers opportunities to learn, share ideas and expertise, brainstorm new approaches to combat major issues together and be inspired. In 2023, we offered breakout sessions throughout the day with topics surrounding health, education, economic mobility, fundraising and more! These smaller sessions opened up greater opportunities for collaboration and growth.
The UpWard Summit is coming back in 2025!
Want to learn more about how you can be part of this empowering day of change? Whether it’s through attending, presenting or sponsoring, we would love for you to get involved! Reach out to nonprofitsupport@unitedwayknox.org to start the conversation.
