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.
Plus, be inspired by three community leaders each of whom will share a 5-Minute Power Chat (The Moment I Knew This Was My Work).
More than just a breakfast, it’s a space to spark meaningful collaborations and collective action—bringing together those who are shaping the future of our communities.
