2025 BREAKIN' IT DOWN
For over twenty years, the Breakin’ It Down conference has been met with success and has attracted nearly 3,850 participants. The BID conference engages diverse nonprofit and fundraising professionals and volunteers in empowering conversations about the present state and future of the nonprofit, philanthropic, and fundraising sector and its impact on under-recognized, under-represented and underserved communities in the Chicago area. Since 2003, it has been at the forefront of empowering discourse, mobilizing, and information-sharing with a racial equity lens. It brings together seasoned and emerging nonprofit professionals and administrators, academics, community activists, students, and other stakeholders who serve under-represented and underserved communities, with experts and distinguished philanthropic, nonprofit, and community leaders for a day of speakers, plenary panels, workshops, and professional speed networking with funders.
This important event uses an interactive agenda that focuses on key challenges in the field, recognizing and encouraging professional excellence, promoting professional opportunity through equitable access, networking and collaboration, and exploring best practices and different sustainability strategies. Participants leave with an increased understanding of a substantive range of pertinent issues and an increased ability to be agents of change in our field.
The Breakin' It Down conference will take place on Friday, October 24, 2025.
