The Nonprofit Council is a bi-monthly gathering that brings together Sumter County’s nonprofit organizations to connect, collaborate, and support one another in meaningful ways.
This meeting is a space for nonprofit leaders and team members to:
Share updates, ideas, and resources
Build relationships with fellow nonprofit leaders
Learn from one another’s experiences
Increase awareness of the vital work happening throughout our community
We welcome all Sumter County nonprofit organizations and encourage you to share this invitation with others who may be interested in joining the conversation. The registration cost is $15 for Chamber members and $20 if you are not yet a Chamber member.
The Nonprofit Council meets on the third Thursday of every other month, and lunch will be provided.
The Sumter County Chamber of Commerce hosts a bimonthly luncheon on the third Wednesday of every other month, bringing local business leaders together for networking, learning, and connection.
Each luncheon features a guest speaker who shares timely, relevant insights designed to support and strengthen our local business community. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed, build relationships, and engage with fellow Chamber members.
We are proud to be “Celebrating Local” by showcasing the diverse and dynamic businesses that make Sumter County and the surrounding communities thrive. This event provides participating vendors with a premier platform to highlight their products and services, connect with new audiences, and elevate their brand visibility.
Vendor spaces are limited, and this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Promote your business, generate qualified leads, and build valuable relationships with potential customers and clients.
This event will be extensively marketed throughout The Villages and neighboring areas and is free and open to the public, ensuring strong attendance and community engagement.
We encourage vendors to create an interactive and memorable booth experience by offering giveaways, samples, or promotional items that showcase what makes your business unique.
Each vendor is required to donate a gift card valued at $50 or more to be used as a door prize. The gift card may be for your business or another local business (restaurant, retailer, grocery store, etc.). Door prizes will be drawn and mailed to winners following the event.
Please Note: Our Business Expo is designed to foster meaningful connections and networking opportunities. While direct product sales are not permitted during the event, vendors are encouraged to engage attendees, share information about their offerings, and cultivate relationships that lead to future business opportunities.
