CONNECT FOR CHANGE NETWORKING MIXER - LA NONPROFITS & SOCIAL IMPACT

Connect for Change Networking Mixer

We're facing an unprecedented crisis. Traditional funding sources that our communities have relied on for decades are disappearing before our eyes. Government programs cut. State funding slashed. Federal grants eliminated. While the money may be gone, the need for support has never been greater in Altadena and Los Angeles County.

This is our moment to step up. Join us for a powerful evening where we transform crisis into opportunity through meaningful connections, strategic partnerships, and collective action! The Connect for Change Networking Mixer unites the bold leaders, innovative thinkers, and passionate advocates who are ready to become the safety net our community desperately needs.

We're not just networking—we're building the infrastructure for community resilience. Together, we'll create a comprehensive resource directory that ensures no one falls through the cracks. Because this isn't a quick fix; it's a long-term commitment to each other.

Whether you're a nonprofit leader seeking sustainable partnerships, a business owner ready to invest in community impact, a civic champion with big ideas, or an innovator with solutions, this is where lasting change begins.

Whether you're leading a nonprofit fighting for survival, running a business ready to step up, championing community initiatives that need backing, or driving change in your field, this mixer is your opportunity to build the partnerships that will sustain our community when traditional funding fails.
