An ark nonprofit consulting event · February 2027
Nonprofit + Business
Networking Breakfast
No panels. No workshops. One morning to meet the people you should already know.
Why we're gathering
A Room Built for Connection
Most events in the nonprofit space are built to teach. Workshops, panels, capacity-building sessions. They have value, but they aren't where relationships get built.
There are very few rooms where nonprofits and the businesses that support them show up for one reason: to meet each other. So I'm creating one.
This is a casual networking breakfast. No keynote, no slide deck, no pitch. A morning of real conversations with people worth knowing.
Who should come
Nonprofits and the Businesses That Support Them
01 / NONPROFITS
Nonprofits
Executive directors, development staff, program leaders, and anyone who builds relationships on behalf of their organization. You'll meet businesses that want to support the work you do, in a setting where no one has to make the first awkward cold call.
02 / BUSINESSES
Businesses
Companies that partner with, serve, or want to give back to nonprofits. That includes corporate giving and community engagement teams, local business owners, and the professionals who work alongside the sector every day. You'll meet nonprofit leaders face to face, which is where real partnerships start.
The agenda
The Morning at a Glance
Thursday, February 11, 2027
The first hour is set aside for one thing: meeting as many of the right people as possible. Breakfast gives you time to keep the best conversations going. The day wraps by 10:00 AM, so you're back to work before the morning is gone.
The venue
Where We're Meeting: Palm Beach County Food Bank
The Food Bank feeds families across Palm Beach County every day. After breakfast, stay for an optional tour and see that work up close. It's the kind of context you can't get from a website or a one-pager.

Nonprofit registration
No cost, on purpose. Nonprofit staff shouldn't have to find room in the budget to build the relationships that keep their organizations funded.

Frequently asked questions
Good to Know Before You Register
Is this a sales event?
No. There are no presentations or pitches on the agenda. Come to meet people, not to be sold to.
Do I have to stay for the tour?
No. The tour at 10:00 AM is optional. Stay if your schedule allows. It's worth it.
I don't love networking. Should I still come?
Yes. This is a casual morning, not a room full of elevator pitches. Bring your curiosity and a few business cards.
