Lakeshore Nonprofit Programs & Community Nonprofit Events

The BIPOC Affinity Group is a space for nonprofit professionals who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color to connect and be in community.

Are you looking for ways to plug into your community? We have just the opportunity for you! Join the Lakeshore Nonprofit Alliance and The Chamber - Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg, for NW Ottawa Community Connections (in conjunction with the Chamber BASH) on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

APRIL TOPIC: Building Your Donor Base

Join us for our very first Yappy Hour! This is a casual gathering for nonprofit organizations/staff to come and connect with each other. There’s no agenda, just a chance to unwind and spend time with others who understand the work you do. Come by to meet a few new people, catch up with familiar faces, or just get out for a bit.

Join us for LNA’s first coworking session! This is a relaxed, drop-in style space designed for nonprofit professionals to get things done alongside peers. Bring your laptop, settle in, and work on whatever is on your list.
