The Arreva Driven by Cause
Philanthropic Summit
OCTOBER 26th, 2026
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Where Missions
Find Momentum
The Arreva Driven by Cause Philanthropic Summit is where the nonprofit community comes together — funders, leaders, and changemakers all in one room, united by a shared commitment to building something better.
Our mission is simple: to unite the people doing this work, foster a genuine sense of community, and create an environment where organizations feel supported, challenged, and inspired to think differently about what's possible.
An Event Built Differently
Every session is chosen for its real-world applicability, every speaker is someone who has actually solved the problems you're facing, and every conversation is with someone who understands the weight of mission-driven work.
You'll leave with a clear head, a full notebook, and people in your corner.
