This is our 20th CauseCupid mixer in the Los Angeles area, and we're thrilled to be bringing together a diverse group of nonprofit organizations seeking passionate, committed board members, with qualified individuals seeking to get involved and make a positive difference in their communities In this booklet you'll find information about the participating nonprofit organizations, including mission, primary contact at the event, budget, terms of service, and more.
Board Candidates: we encourage you to think about which organizations to meet and what questions to ask about their programs and operations, as well as expectations for Board members. To date, CauseCupid events have placed more than 500 Board members nationwide. Hopefully tonight will be successful for you!
