About Event

Focus Flow Lab is a structured co-working experience designed for changemakers who thrive in environments that balance connection and deep concentration. Using the proven Pomodoro Technique, these sessions create the perfect rhythm of focused work and mindful breaks—combining the productive atmosphere of a coffee shop with the intentional structure needed for meaningful progress on your most important work.

Whether you're working on grant applications, drafting impact reports, creating program content, analyzing outcome data, catching up on administrative backlogs, or planning your next community initiative, Focus Flow Lab provides the accountability, community, and framework that nonprofit professionals need to enhance productivity and advance their mission-driven work.
