The Common Thread: How Small Businesses and Nonprofits Can Support Each Other for Greater Impact
Advertisement
Our community is stronger when we work together—not just in spirit, but in practice.
The Common Thread is a two-hour strategy and storytelling session designed to spark meaningful connections between nonprofit leaders, small business owners, and local ecosystem partners. Together, we’ll explore how cross-sector collaboration can strengthen our economy, deepen our impact, and build a more resilient Duluth.
Nonprofits and small businesses each play vital roles in our region—employing more than 60% of our local workforce combined. And yet, they often operate in silos. This gathering is an invitation to change that.
Through shared stories, world café conversations, and idea sharing, participants will:
- Discover what’s possible when community-minded organizations partner with purpose
- Identify mutual needs, strengths, and opportunities for collaboration
- Explore real-world examples that show the ROI—for both social good and business growth
- Connect with others committed to building a stronger local economy and community fabric
Whether you're a nonprofit seeking new ways to sustain your mission, a small business eager to give back in meaningful ways, or a connector ready to bridge sectors—this space is for you.
