Supporting local endeavors and businesses is the heart of any community, and thanks to Non-Profit Night 2025, the Coastal Bend will have the opportunity to return the favor of giving back to 15 local non-profits, all under one roof. The event is dedicated to highlighting these organizations and all the amazing work they do, while allowing locals to learn more about the positive differences they make in the community.
Jennifer Moreno, owner of Mind Your Business Success Agency and coordinator of Non-Profit Night, first began to brainstorm the idea when she took on a non-profit organization as a client.
“I realized they have many of the same struggles business owners have, and I felt like it was a very underserved market,” Moreno shared. “So, I started thinking, ‘How can we impact more organizations at one time?’ That’s how Non-Profit Night started.”
Moreno hosted the first Non-Profit Night in 2024 and was blown away by the response from the community and the success in fundraising. At the end of the evening, all 15 organizations received donations. “I am hoping this year will be even bigger and better,” she said.
To keep the event honest and fair, participating organizations are selected through a lottery system, but must first meet specific eligibility requirements. These include being a registered 501(c)(3); serving the Coastal Bend community; being in operation for five years or less; and not having participated in Non-Profit Night before.
The community can celebrate Non-Profit Night 2025’s selected organizations on July 17 from 6-9 p.m. at the Bay Jewel. Admission to the event is free, although a donation is encouraged at the door.
As Non-Profit Night returns for its second year, it brings an opportunity to connect with the people behind the causes and to understand how far a single act of support can go. With each story shared and each dollar raised, the Coastal Bend grows stronger, one nonprofit at a time.
