Join Us for the Launch of the Changemaker Network!
A Community of Accelerators Driving Social Impact Forward
Are you someone who works alongside nonprofits, but not always within them? Strategists, consultants, financial experts, designers, coaches, and specialists play a vital role in helping nonprofits succeed, yet often find themselves working behind the scenes in isolation.
That’s why we’re launching the Changemaker Network—a new initiative designed to strengthen connections, spark collaboration, and amplify the impact of those who support the nonprofit sector in Northern Minnesota.
This inaugural gathering is your opportunity to meet other professionals, explore potential collaborations, and help shape the future of this network.
What to Expect at the Event:
✅ Connect with other local experts who support nonprofits and social impact work.
✅ Participate in facilitated discussions to share ideas, challenges, and insights.
✅ Learn how the Changemaker Network can elevate your work and the sector as a whole.
✅ A light lunch will be shared.
This first meeting is just the beginning. Together, we’ll build a stronger, more collaborative community of Accelerators who are passionate about supporting nonprofits and driving social change.
