WELCOME TO CAUSECUPID LOS ANGELES

01

We're excited that you're joining us!

This is our fifteenth 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!

Organizations: we are pleased to announce that our next CauseCupid will be presented under the umbrella of our newest initiative, CauseCoaching, launching in early 2024. In addition to quarterly CauseCupid events, this comprehensive subscription will offer an extensive menu of services and supports designed to build, fortify and raise the bar for nonprofit boards of directors. And, if your organization pre-registers for CauseCoaching before January 1, 2024, your CauseCupid fee will automatically be applied to your subscription.

We look forward to mingling with you - and hopefully you will meet your mission match.

Your Cupids,

Matt Kamin, Co-Founder & Managing Partner matt@envisionnonprofit.com
