Hotel Capstone

Alabama's Nonprofit Leaders Have One Day to Change Everything.
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;June 12. Hotel Capstone. 8am to 6pm. Every nonprofit leader knows the gap between doing important work and doing effective work. Funding struggles, volunteer burnout, weak marketing, these challenges are real. On June 12, 2026, the solutions are coming to Tuscaloosa.
The Community Summit is a full-day, hands-on experience designed to send you home with a concrete Action Plan. Choose four workshop sessions across tracks in Grant Writing, Marketing, Business Development, and Volunteer Mobilization with each led by a working expert who has done it in the real world.
The speaker lineup delivers exactly that. Keynote speaker Marquis R. Forge, founder of Eleven86 Water, has grown a manufacturing brand to 80 million bottles shipped across 14 states and he's bringing those grassroots leadership lessons to you. You'll also hear from a nonprofit funding strategist, a social media marketer who works exclusively with mission-driven organizations, a systems architect helping leaders escape burnout, a motivational strategist, and a United Way team that has raised over $42.7 million for West Alabama communities.
Beyond the workshops, the day includes a Resource Fair, keynote luncheon, and a Community Mixer for intentional networking with giveaways for those who stay!
