Engagement Tour
Join us at one of our spring, summer or fall locations and share food and conversation. Each year, the Initiative Foundation and its team partner with local organizations to visit, network, learn and share. We call it our Engagement Tour, but you can think of each visit and each location as a meet-and-greet opportunity. It’s a great, low-key way to connect with staff and partners, hear impactful stories, and explore resources available to nonprofits and businesses.
