WELCOME TO CAUSECUPID LOS ANGELES

We’re excited that you’re joining us! This is our sixth CauseCupid mixer in the Los Angeles area, and we’re thrilled to be facilitating this wonderful event. Our CauseCupid events are a fantastic opportunity for nonprofits to meet engaged community members to join their ranks as Board members. To date, our CauseCupid events have placed more than 200 Board members nationwide.

This event brings together a diverse group of nonprofit organizations seeking passionate, committed board members and community members seeking to increase their involvement in the community. In this booklet, you’ll find relevant information about all the participating nonprofit organizations, including mission, primary contact at the event, budget, term of service, and more

We encourage you to think about which organizations you’d like to meet – and questions you have about their programs and operations, as well as expectations for Board members. We look forward to mingling with you and hope you meet your mission match
