Twice each year, the Parikh Giving Alliance hosts the Change Makers Breakfast, an invitation-only gathering celebrating nonprofit leaders and donors who are making a lasting impact in healthcare, education, and the arts in Central Florida. This exclusive (only 50 guests) event honors our latest round of grant recipients, recognized for their dedication, innovation, and commitment to transformative change in Central Florida. More than just a breakfast, it’s a space for meaningful conversations, collaboration, and collective action—bringing together those who are shaping the future of our communities.
