June 13, 2026. SE Washington DC. Your table is your organization's introduction to a coordination network built to move Ward 5, 7, and 8 families toward stability — not just connect them to a pamphlet.
ABOUT THE EVENTWhy June 13th is Different.
300+ Families ExpectedWard 5, 7, and 8 residents — families navigating SNAP changes, TANF reductions, housing instability, and workforce transitions. These are the households your organization exists to serve.
Ward 5, 7, and 8 families are facing a convergence of pressures this summer — federal job losses, SNAP work requirements, TANF step-downs, housing supply in freefall, and benefit cuts arriving simultaneously. The Community Compass Resource Fair is the community-facing launch of a coordinated household stabilization network. Your table puts your organization at the center of that response.
Co-Presented By Three InstitutionsPivot Partnerships, Community Grapevines, and Community College Prep Academy. Each bringing a different network to the same room on the same day.
A Free Event for the CommunityIt’s free. Food activities, and a $50 gift card for every family. The environment is designed to get people through the door and keep them there long enough to have real conversations.
THE PIVOT NETWORKYour Introduction to a Coordination System.
Pivot Partnerships operates the intelligence layer that sits behind nonprofit services and guides investment dollars — identifying the structural pressures acting on households and coordinating the right interventions at the right moment.
June 13th is your organization's first introduction to how that works in practice. Tabled organizations connect directly with households and sponsors fuel the coordinated investment that makes those connections matter. You don't have to join the Pivot network that day — but you'll leave knowing exactly what joining means and what it offers.
Organizations that onboard after the event become vetted referral partners — households matched to your services are actively routed to you, with coordination support from Pivot's Community Systems Navigators. That is a different relationship than handing out flyers at a fair. For sponsors, it means your investment is tracked through a living network — not a one-day transaction.
JUNE 25, 2026The Cross-Sector Convening
Organizations are also invited to the June 25th Cross-Sector Convening — a working session bringing together city leadership, the DC business community, and civic partners to act on what we learn on June 13th. This is where the institutional response gets built, and both sponsors and community organization belong in that room.
A separate registration fee applies; details will be shared with all confirmed table holders at a later date.

Explore onboarding after
Within 30 days Pivot reaches out about formal network onboarding. No obligation on the day.
FOR SPONSORSInvest in the Community
Sponsorship conversations go deeper than a tier selection — this is an entry point into a coordinated civic response, not just an event. Review the prospectus, then reach out directly.
This is not a charity event.
Sponsors are investing in the launch of coordination infrastructure — the STA-CIS network — that will become essential to DC's household stabilization strategy long after June 13th.
Your investment is documented and verified.
Every sponsor receives impact reports tied to real household outcomes — produced by Pivot and anchored by independent data, not self-reported statistics.
This is a two-event initiative.
June 13th meets families where they are. June 25th convenes institutional leadership to act on what we learn. Higher tiers get a seat at both tables.
Common Questions
Call: 520.405.2029Email: info@pivotpartnerships.org-
Nonprofit and service organizations currently serving households in Wards 5, 7, or 8.
This includes housing, health, workforce, legal aid, food access, benefits navigation, and similar service areas.
-
The nonrefundable $25 fee is a commitment signal — it tells us and the families attending that your organization will show up. It also helps offset event costs. It's not revenue; it's accountability.
-
No. Participation in the event and registration at the table does not obligate your organization to join the Pivot network. Formal onboarding is a separate, post-event conversation — entirely on your terms.
-
Organization name, primary contact, email, phone, services offered, wards served, and approximate monthly capacity.
-
Yes. You are free to collect contact information from families who approach your table directly. The household consent model on the intake form only governs what Pivot shares from its own intake data — it does not restrict what you do at your own table.
-
Your team, your materials, your intake forms or sign-up sheets, any giveaways or resources you want to distribute, and a banner or signage if you have one. One table and two chairs are provided. Extension cords will be available.
-
Please let us know as soon as possible so we can open your spot to another organization. Given the 15-table limit, last-minute cancellations directly affect the families attending. Also, the registration fee is nonrefundable.
-
Yes — 2–3 food trucks will be on-site throughout the event. You're welcome to purchase from them just like any attendee.
