Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nonprofit Forum?
On June 1, 2008, the Cultural Council of Indian River acquired the Brown Bag program - renamed to Nonprofit Forum - from the Junior League of Indian River which started the program in October 2006 for the benefit of nonprofit organizations in Indian River County. Leaders, staff and volunteers of nonprofit organizations are welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings.
Two new special events were added in 2007 in collaboration with the Cultural Council of Indian River: the Indian River Non Profit Media Breakfast, and “Put Your Passion Into Action,” a nonprofit information fair.
What is the purpose of the Nonprofit Forum?
To provide an informal setting where nonprofits can network, recognize needs in our community and work together to meet those needs; and strives to provide information and education to the participants through speakers and presentations.
Who should attend the meetings?
Leaders, staff and volunteers of nonprofits in Indian River County as well as interested community members.
When and where are the meetings?
The meetings are currently four times a year in October, January, April and July. Refer to the front page for the dates. Participants may bring their breakfast and beverage with them. Reservations are not required. MEETINGS ARE HELD AT THE HERITAGE CENTER, 2140 14TH AVENUE, VERO BEACH (map).
