OnBoard 2025

OnBoard 2025 brought together over 50 local nonprofit exhibitors and more than 260 passionate community members in the beautiful CZI Community Space. United by a shared purpose, attendees came to connect, learn, and explore new ways to create meaningful impact across our communities.

The event was a vibrant celebration of collective action and the power of intentional leadership. Through thought-provoking conversations and dynamic sessions, participants engaged deeply with peers, sector experts, and community leaders.

Highlights included:

  • Mauricio Palma (Silicon Valley Community Foundation) reminded us that love, passion, and curiosity are essential qualities when stepping into board service.

  • Matt Nash (Stanford Center for Social Innovation) shared practical tools and frameworks to help us lead with effectiveness and intention.

  • Aparna Ramakrishnan (Devi Partners) turned her office hours into a powerful, idea-filled dialogue—offering tailored advice and sparking new strategies for board development.

We are deeply grateful for the enthusiasm, dedication, and presence of every attendee, exhibitor, speaker, and volunteer. Your participation is vital to the growth and sustainability of the nonprofit sector. Together, we are elevating the nonprofit story and building the connections that strengthen our shared future.
