Oakland Nonprofit Exchange

The Oakland Nonprofit Exchange is a curated, in-person gathering for Oakland based nonprofit leaders and a small number of trusted partners who support the sector.

Each gathering is intentionally small and designed to encourage real conversation, shared learning, and meaningful connection across organizations.

Over the past few months, the gatherings have brought together leaders from across Oakland, creating new connections, collaborations, and conversations that continue beyond the room.

As we head into the summer season, this May gathering offers an opportunity to reconnect, meet new peers, and spend time with others doing important work across the city.

The Oakland Nonprofit Exchange meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday of each month, with locations rotating across Oakland. Following this May gathering, we will take a short summer pause before returning in the fall.

• A limited number of trusted partners who support nonprofits

What to expect

• Light facilitation to help guide conversation

The Venue

This month we are happy to announce we will be hosted by our friends at BANDALOOP.

In addition to conversation and connection, attendees will have the opportunity to gather inside one of Oakland’s most unique creative spaces and get a behind the scenes look at the home of this internationally recognized organization.
BANDALOOP honors nature, community, and the human spirit through perspective-bending vertical dance.

Based in West Oakland, CA at BANDALOOP Studios, the company incubates and produces work for its local audiences and for touring performances presented around the globe. Now in their 35th year, public performance, education, and outreach remain intrinsic parts of the company’s mission. Since their founding, more than one million people worldwide have seen BANDALOOP perform.
