What You Get as a Participating Funder

• 1:1 curated meetings with pre-vetted nonprofits
• Matches based on detailed intake forms (no open call chaos)
• Your choice of in-person or virtual participation
• Only 1–2 hours of your time required

No obligation to commit funding

We’re not asking you to read a stack of LOIs or sit through panels—we’re offering personalized, efficient conversations with organizations that are already doing the work you care about.

---

How It Works

1. You fill out a brief intake form with your funding areas, geographic focus, giving ranges, and interest in other forms of support (volunteerism, partnerships, board service).
2. We match you with organizations aligned to your priorities—no inbox floods, just strategic alignment.
3. You attend a 60–90 minute block of curated pitch meetings during the Summit, either in person or through our virtual platform.
