Special Guest Merancas Foundation for SHARE-a-Latte Networking Coffee
SHARE-a-Latte Networking Coffees | Special Guest: Merancas Foundation | Deepa Naik, Director of Philanthropy
SHARE Charlotte is the #1 resource for Charlotte nonprofits, providing access to professional development, networking, and support needed to sustain and grow their organizations.
We created SHARE SHINE™ which stands for SHAREholders In Nonprofit Empowerment to provide year-round, affordable programming to help leaders develop the skills needed to create impactful nonprofit organizations.
A key pillar of SHINE is our monthly networking coffee called SHARE-a-Latte, which offers an intentional opportunity for Charlotte nonprofits to come together, meet a special guest - community leaders, funders, influential Charlotteans, and innovators - exposing SHARE’s nonprofit partners to new ideas while building social capital.
September’s SHARE-a-Latte special guest was Deepa Naik, Director of Philanthropy for the Merancas Foundation. Over 100 nonprofit leaders joined us to hear from Deepa at Hope Haven, who hosted us in their amazing new space, The Forum at Hope Haven.
Deepa shared about the history of the Merancas family, what drives their philanthropic priorities, and how their multi-generation family is now involved,
“It was great to hear Deepa’s authentic perspective and have the opportunity to learn more about the Merancas Foundation. The event was fantastic!” – Charlotte Nonprofit Leader
