Amplify July 2026 AMP Session | Connecting Business & Nonprofit Leaders
Our July AMP Session looked a little different—and we loved every minute of it.
The evening began outside with wood-fired pizza from Lion’s Fire Pizza, live music, and intentional time to connect before the program began.
It was exactly what many in our community had been asking for: more space to build relationships with fellow business and nonprofit leaders before moving into meaningful collaboration.
Lion’s Fire also returned to share their Amplify impact story, reflecting on how a previous AMP Session generated new ideas, relationships, and momentum for their ministry.
That reminder set the tone for the work that followed as attendees turned their attention toward two featured nonprofits and the opportunities before them.
Two strategic opportunities.
One community ready to listen, contribute, and help move their missions forward.
Pacem in Terris creates space for rest, reflection, and spiritual renewal through personal retreats and opportunities to encounter God in the beauty of creation.
Their team invited the room to explore an important question:
Attendees shared thoughtful ideas around capital campaign strategy, donor engagement, communications, storytelling, strategic partnerships, staffing sustainability, and long-term stewardship of Pacem’s property.
Portals equips families, homeschool communities, private schools, and educators with affordable, Christ-centered curriculum and educational resources.
Their conversation focused on how to connect more Christian families with meaningful educational options for their children.
Once again, the room responded with creativity, generosity, and practical wisdom. Attendees explored new audiences, trusted referral networks, partnerships with churches and schools, communication strategies, and opportunities to help more families discover Portals’ resources.
This is what makes Amplify unique.
Every AMP Session brings together people from different industries, backgrounds, and experiences who are willing to invest what they know for the benefit of others. Sometimes that investment is an introduction. Sometimes it is a fresh perspective. Sometimes it is simply asking the right question.
Together, those moments create momentum that nonprofit leaders carry with them long after the evening concludes.
Thank you for continuing to show up, share generously, and help strengthen organizations making a lasting impact in our communities and around the world.
The most meaningful feedback we receive comes from the people in the room. Here are just a few reflections from our July AMP Session.
We’re grateful for the businesses who partnered with us to make our July AMP Session possible.
