Here's what's happening at Fieldstone right now:

GreatNonprofits amplifies the experiences of clients, donors, volunteers, partners, and beneficiaries—those who see nonprofit impact up close. Their stories help others discover trusted organizations and support causes that matter deeply in their communities.

Our Top-Rated Badge is earned exclusively through the thoughtful reviews submitted by our Network Members. Their reflections on how Fieldstone’s programs, coaching, and community have shaped their leadership and strengthened their organizations are both humbling and inspiring. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to share their experience.

Your stories not only affirm our mission—they help others understand the power of a connected, supported, and inspired nonprofit sector.

Thank you for being part of the Fieldstone community and for helping us continue to serve nonprofit leaders with excellence.

As we close out another year, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to everyone who is a member or has supported the Network. This year has brought significant challenges for the nonprofit sector, but it has also highlighted our collective ability to remain adaptive, collaborative, and committed to serving our community despite the obstacles in our path. We have been continually inspired by your leadership, both as professionals and as individuals.

One of the greatest blessings of leading the Fieldstone Network is staying connected with you and the incredible work you make happen across San Diego. We are in awe of the sector’s resilience and the way we turn to one another in times of need, ultimately creating something together that is greater than anything we could have built alone.

This year, we have focused on garnering your feedback so we are best able to address the sector's needs going forward in ways that matter and are most needed. 2026 will be a critically important year for us at Fieldstone, and we have worked hard to ensure that our slate of offerings in the new year will provide meaningful support to you as a nonprofit leader and a whole person. We believe we have a continuum of programs that will uplift your leadership, enhance your wellbeing, and strengthen your connections to your colleagues.

For some much-needed rest and recharge, the Fieldstone office will be closed from Monday, December 22, through Friday, January 2. We will return on Monday, January 5, 2026 to kick off a brand-new year!

Wishing you a joy-filled and peaceful holiday season and a happy new year!

With gratitude,

Janine & Becky

To assist nonprofit organizations in efforts to identify board members and diversify their governing boards, we offer the Nonprofit Board Exchange™, a community resource to publicize openings on local nonprofit boards and supply information on available trainings for those who serve in this important role. 

Prospective and current board members can use this site to look for new board openings and for training opportunities in San Diego County.

If you have a board opening that you would like to share, please Visit npboardexchange.org to create an account and post your board listing.

The Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego is a place for nonprofit organizations to ask for what they need and to offer what they have to other nonprofit organizations.

The Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego is built on the value of reciprocity with the goal of sharing resources to help the nonprofit sector as we all work together to lead our teams, serve our clients, re-imagine how we work, and sustain our organizations for the future.

Nonprofit Resource Exchange San Diego is brought to you through a partnership between FIELDSTONE LEADERSHIP NETWORK SAN DIEGO and THE NONPROFIT INSTITUTE at the University of San Diego.

To join the Exchange, please go HERE

The Nonprofit Career Exchange is a robust resource for both sides of the job market.

Job announcements are shared through a weekly email sent to Network members and others in the broader nonprofit community searching for their next opportunity. The email bulletin is also shared on our social media sites every Friday.

If you have an opening that you would like us to share, please email us the job announcement in a PDF or Word document or as a website link with “how to apply” information embedded into the document/website.
