Applications now open for philanthropists and nonprofits to join this landmark event where capital meets compassion.

Global investment platform iConnections today unveiled the first wave of world-changing nonprofits joining Funds4Charity 2026, a groundbreaking philanthropic experience debuting February 24–25, 2026, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Designed to transform how capital and compassion connect, Funds4Charity will bring together 100 leading nonprofits with the world’s most influential philanthropists, family offices, and foundations.

Headlining the first cohort are organizations founded by Jewel Kilcher (Inspiring Children Foundation), Derek Jeter (Turn 2 Foundation), Kimbal Musk (Big Green), Petra Němcová (All Hands and Hearts), and David Ortiz (David Ortiz Children’s Fund), each driving transformative change across youth empowerment, mental health, food security, and global relief.

They will be joined by up to 100 non-profits including, Teach for America, Charity: Water, and To Write Love on Her Arms, rounding out a powerhouse roster of mission-driven organizations leading the charge toward measurable, lasting impact.

Together, these nonprofits represent the convergence of purpose and performance — a reflection of the industry’s growing focus on measurable, mission-aligned impact.

Turning Capital into Compassion

“For decades, our industry has been driven by performance and profit, but we have the power to drive purpose, too,” said Ron Biscardi, CEO of iConnections and Co-Chair of Funds4Charity. “This is the first time the world’s largest allocators and philanthropists will sit across the table from the world’s most impactful nonprofits. When capital connects with compassion, there’s no limit to the good we can do.”

Lacey Abbott, Co-Chair of Funds4Charity and Founder of Kono Agency, added: “The caliber of individuals and organizations joining this initiative from both the philanthropy and non-profit sectors speaks volumes. These leaders aren’t just giving; they’re creating lasting impact by forging direct connections between donors and nonprofits.”

A Philanthropic Event Like No Other

Funds4Charity will unite 100 carefully selected nonprofits with 200 philanthropists, investors, and global leaders for two days of pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings and high-impact programming designed to drive measurable results through strategic philanthropy.

Building on iConnections’ successful initiatives, Funds4Food, Funds4Minds, Funds4Ukraine, and Funds4Teachers, this next evolution will create a transparent, scalable ecosystem where giving meets strategy.
