Events & Community Gatherings
Learning, connection, and support for nonprofit leaders—online and in person.
The NonProfit Nook hosts and promotes events designed to support nonprofit leaders through education, connection, and practical learning. This page includes both events hosted by The NonProfit Nook and a curated calendar of other nonprofit-focused educational and networking opportunities happening in our community.
Our goal is simple: make it easier for nonprofit leaders to find opportunities to learn, connect, and grow—without having to search in a dozen different places.
The Art of Corporate Engagement
Most nonprofits approach companies with sponsorship requests. The most successful nonprofits build partnerships.
Join The NonProfit Nook for a powerful educational session with E. Jeff Serrano, CDE, CNC, Founder & President of 360° Corporate Engagement Consulting. With more than 40 years of experience in both nonprofit and corporate leadership — including roles with the Dallas Museum of Art, The Dallas Opera, American Cancer Society, United Way of Dallas, University of Texas at Arlington, and AT&T — Jeff brings a rare 360-degree perspective on what truly drives corporate engagement.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Shift from transactional sponsorship asks to long-term, mission-aligned partnerships
- Engage corporate leaders beyond writing a check
- Build sustainable revenue through cause marketing, executive engagement, and strategic corporate relationships
- Position your organization as a valuable partner, not just a funding request
