Pre-Summit: Nonprofits in Disaster Response & Relief
Hosted by Volunteer Admin Alliance Peer Network
The threat of natural disasters continues to increase in South Carolina.
Hurricanes grow stronger each year, wildfires have become more regular than in years past, and flooding is a threat in nearly every community.
Nonprofits are critical to how our state responds to these disasters, both in the immediate aftermath and in the long-term recovery of our communities.
On March 9, before the start of the 2026 SC Nonprofit Summit, join Together SC’s Volunteer Admin Alliance Peer Network for a special Pre-Summit convening focused on how nonprofits fit into our state’s disaster response and relief infrastructure, and what’s going on across our state to prepare for disaster alongside nonprofits.
This Pre-Summit is being offered free of charge to the first 100 registered attendees. You must be registered for the SC Nonprofit Summit in order to register for this special event. Registration also includes a boxed lunch.
