UNITE: Community + Convos
Join us for the launch of UNITE North Texas: Uniting Nonprofits for Impact, Trust, + Engagement!
Connect. Collaborate. Create Impact.
UNITE North Texas is a community built on the belief that real change happens when nonprofits, businesses, and community leaders work together.
We’re launching with a welcoming luncheon that creates space for meaningful conversation, new connections, and collaboration that moves our region forward.
Featured Panel: Building Sponsorships that UNITE
Sponsorships are more than logos on an event program or a website, they’re relationships that fuel long-term change. Hear from nonprofit leaders and corporate sponsors as they share what makes partnerships meaningful, how to grow them beyond a single event, and why trust and alignment matter.
Whether you're with a nonprofit or a company, you’ll walk away with insights on how to build sponsorships that truly stick and serve the greater good across North Texas.
