The Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and the Kirkland Community Foundation invite representatives from the nonprofit community to gather for a morning of connection and conversation.

• What nonprofits are seeing right now in their work — what’s on their plate, where the challenges are, and where collaboration could help
• The role the Chamber plays in supporting nonprofits and how membership can benefit mission-driven organizations
• How the Kirkland Community Foundation works alongside nonprofits through partnerships, philanthropy, and community initiatives

Connection Time

After introductions and a short conversation, we will leave time for intentional networking so participants can connect directly with one another and schedule follow-up conversations around partnerships, shared challenges, or ideas worth exploring together.

Our hope is that the morning will spark new relationships and help us better understand how we can support the nonprofit organizations serving Kirkland.
