United for Brevard

Brevard County is home to hundreds of nonprofit organizations serving our most vulnerable residents—yet organizations and residents often struggle to identify the right resources at the right time. This countywide convening brings nonprofits, faith leaders, businesses, philanthropic partners, and government together to strengthen coordination, share best practices, and spark partnerships that improve outcomes across the county’s 70-mile geography.

• Share best practices and practical tools nonprofit leaders can apply immediately
• Promote collaboration to reduce duplication and strengthen referral pathways
• Spotlight local challenges and collective solutions using a countywide lens
• Build connections across nonprofits, business leaders, philanthropic partners, and local government

• Nonprofit leaders and staff (executive leaders, program, operations, development)
• Business and employer partners seeking community engagement opportunities
• Government officials and community planners
• Philanthropic partners and community investors
• Church and faith-based representatives

• New connections and collaboration opportunities across the county
• A clearer view of Brevard’s nonprofit landscape and where to refer clients
• Actionable ideas for partnership-building and problem-solving
• Insights that support coordinated, community-centered solutions
