For twenty years, the Breakin’ It Down conference has been met with success and has attracted nearly 3,300 participants. During the Pandemic, we demonstrated that in times of rapid change and urgent need, we could consistently deliver high‐quality virtual programming with measurable impacts.
Breakin' It Down uses an interactive agenda that focuses on key challenges in the field, encouraging professional excellence, promoting professional opportunity through 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.

In 2019, the Denise Stennis Awards were established to pay tribute to the memory of Denise Stennis, a community leader, mentor, friend, and founding member of the Breakin' It Down conference. The Awards program recognizes an individual in the nonprofit, philanthropy, and fundraising field and a nonprofit organization who are serving under-represented and underserved communities in the Chicago area, who have integrated racial equity with sustained strategic collaborations, and who lift pragmatic, action-oriented, and tenacious change makers. The objective of this Denise Stennis Awards program is not only to recognize those who do contribute but also to inspire others to make similar contributions to the field.
Breakin' It Down attracts delegates from across the Chicago area and is typically attended by nearly 200 participants from the nonprofit, business, and education communities.
The conference is supported by respected names in the nonprofit and philanthropic community, which consists of diverse organizations, community leaders, corporate sponsors, private foundations, and family foundations.
