The 2025 Nonprofit Fair is an inaugural event to connect Richland County community members with nonprofit service opportunities. The event takes place on Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Ontario Center Shopping Mall, Center Court, 2209 Richland Mall, Ontario, 44906.
Hosted by the Leadership Unlimited Advisory Board of the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development, this event is an opportunity for attendees to discover the impacts of local nonprofits and take steps to volunteer or apply for a board position. Nonprofit representatives will exhibit at tables ready to engage with the public.
"The nonprofits that will be exhibiting are passionate about their organizations and the populations they serve," said Mansfield-Richland Area Educational Foundation Director Angie Cirone. "Many community members want to be involved with nonprofits, but don't know how to approach them. The Nonprofit Fair will serve as a connection event."
With a diverse list of 42 nonprofits registered to exhibit, it’s a unique opportunity for community members to connect with organizations that align with their values and interests.
As an additional resource, attendees will receive a list of participating nonprofits and the roles they are interested in filling, such as event-based volunteer, year-round volunteer, task force member, or board member. Attendees are encouraged to play the Nonprofit Fair Bingo game and be entered to win one of three VISA Gift Cards donated by Mechanics Bank.
Nonprofits in Richland County provide valuable services and programs that move the community forward. Community members are encouraged to get involved in making a lasting difference.
Registration is encouraged for planning purposes, but walk-ins are welcome. Register and see the full list of nonprofit exhibitors here. (https://portal.richlandareachamber.com/events/details/2025-nonprofit-fair-6193)
