Breakin' It Down Conferences

Breakin' It DOwn Conference

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, with a racial equity lens.

BID brings together seasoned and emerging nonprofit professionals and administrators, academics, community activists, students, and other stakeholders with experts and distinguished philanthropic, nonprofit, and community leaders for a day of speakers, plenary panels, workshops, and professional speed networking with funders.
