About this Event
About the Exchange
Fundraising is hard, often isolating work. We’re inviting the community to a casual morning coffee to connect, swap ideas, and share experiences across the nonprofit ecosystem in Greenville, SC, and the Upstate.
At The Exchange, nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, community partners, and the organizations that support them come together, talk through challenges, share wins, and leave with a few more tools than they came with.
With the funding landscape constantly shifting and internal teams stretched thin, we saw an opportunity to help bridge the gap and create something different.
Connecting the Dots
When going to a networking event, we realize it's not always obvious who in the room can help with the thing you actually came to talk about. So, we're adding a new way to help our attendees easily connect to the conversations and resources they're looking for.
This month, we're asking you to tell us what you or your nonprofit is looking for help with (or what you can help with), and you'll get a matching dot color on your name badge when you check in. The idea is simple: walk in, scan the room, find the color, start talking. We're keeping the same low pressure, drop-in style networking event, just with a faster way to find the right conversations.
