Change Makers Breakfast - April 7, 2026
Twice each year, the Parikh Giving Alliance hosts the Change Makers Breakfast—an invitation-only gathering that brings together nonprofit leaders and donors making a lasting impact across healthcare, education, and the arts in Central Florida.
On April 7, 2026, a group of 50 changemakers gathered at Eola View to celebrate the Parikh Giving Alliance’s latest grant recipients, awarding Event Elevation Grants (4 awarded), Capacity Builder Grants (2 awarded), and Cornerstone Grants (2 awarded) to Central Florida organizations driving meaningful, on-the-ground impact.
A favorite feature of the Change Makers Breakfast is our Power Chat panel, 3 local leaders who inspire us. We were so honored to feature, Nancy Molello, MSB (Ginsburg Institute for Health Equity at Nemours Children’s Health), Christopher Roellke, PhD (Stetson University), and Justin Muchoney (Executive Director of Central Florida Community Arts) each shared “The Moment I Knew This Was My Work.”
More than a meal. the Change Makers Breakfast continues to spark meaningful collaboration and collective action—bringing together those shaping the future of our community.
