The Lender Expo was created to provide local nonprofit organizations a space for purposeful dialogue, and sharing knowledge and experience, could be beneficial to local nonprofit organizations. The inaugural event in 2025 was a resounding success that laid the foundation for future convenings.

Each year, we build programming based on feedback from previous Expos and needs assessment surveys. Through workshops, panel discussions, and networking, organizations can strategize, collaborate, and share ideas on best ways to serve and support the diverse needs of our communities. The goal is to turn these ideas and connections into meaningful and impactful action.
Past workshops have covered topics like conflict de-escalation, mental health, grant writing, advocacy, and more. Panelists, presenters and funders have represented a wide range of sectors, and their varied perspectives have offered valuable insights into the nonprofit landscape of this region.
In addition to hands on workshops and professional development, the annual Lender Expo provides wonderful opportunities to connect with fellow CBOs. We’ve had over 100 organizations represented, with many choosing to table for additional engagement.
The Lender Expo is free to attend and to table. Your organization also has the option to be listed as a resource on our Lender Center website.
The 2027 Lender Expo is tentatively scheduled for March 23 & 24, 2027. We will provide more details as they become available. If you have any questions, please contact us at lender@example.com
