Founders and Funders Catalytic Innovation Lunch

​Ark Philanthropy welcomes you to an intimate, invite-only discussion and lunch.

​Join a curated group of nonprofit founders and funders for a gathering designed to spark meaningful conversations and foster lasting relationships among inspiring individuals. This lunch brings together founders who have launched and are currently leading mid-stage organizations (1.5–5 years old) with proven track records of impact in the Global South. These organizations tackle pressing issues such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, neonatal care, and primary healthcare.

​The event combines structured activities with relaxed conversations. Highlights include rapid-fire “speed-friending” rounds, facilitated group dialogues, and ample opportunities for informal discussions. Together, we’ll explore what makes funder–grantee partnerships truly effective, emerging trends on the horizon, and how we can support each other’s boldest ambitions.

​Come prepared for thoughtful conversations, cross-sector connections, and just enough structure to cultivate relationships that extend far beyond this lunch.

​This is an invite-only gathering.
