TRIIBE Fundraising Mixer
Supporting Next-Gen Changemakers in the New Year
Right next to Union Square, join us for an evening of connection, live music, and community in support of TRIIBE.
TRIIBE’s mission is to help next-gen nonprofit founders continue their work. Less than 1% of funding reaches youth-led organizations, and as a result, 80% of nonprofits fade within their first year.
After founders find their rhythm, a second and more structural break occurs as they turn 18 and enter college. They then leave the support systems that helped them grow and become full-time students. Funding opportunities and time are cut further, and little structure exists to support continued work through or beyond college.
That is where TRIIBE steps in. We create a clear pipeline, similar to finance or consulting, but for social impact. TRIIBE provides funding, mentorship, and community to founders from sophomore to senior year of college, when vision is high but support is scarce.
Across our 5-person cohorts, founders collectively represent 61 years of nonprofit leadership, each having run their organization for an average of six years. Several have already been recognized as Forbes 30 Under 30. Their work advances six core sectors: food, water, shelter, health, education, and energy.
This gathering is designed to be light, welcoming, and conversational, while also serving as a fundraiser in support of TRIIBE’s work. We’ll spend most of the evening connecting with one another, with a brief moment to share what TRIIBE is building in the year ahead, upcoming opportunities to engage, and how those who feel aligned can support our mission.
We’re grateful to start the new year in community with people who care about the next generation of changemakers.
