City of Irvine's Inaugural Nonprofit Week 

The Orange County Community Foundation was proud to join fellow changemakers at Irvine Nonprofit Week — an inspiring and enlightening gathering of mission-driven leaders.

We were especially grateful for the insights shared by featured speakers Lindsey Spindle, President of Samueli Family Philanthropies, Irvine Vice Mayor James Mai, and Councilmember William Go, whose perspectives reinforced the power of collaboration in strengthening our community.
