Encuentro Florida 2026

Encuentro Florida 2026 is by invitation only and brings together nonprofit organizations from Hispanic Federation’s network, funders, community partners, elected officials, sponsors, and other invited guests from across Florida.

Yes. Registered organizations may bring one additional team member to participate in Encuentro.

Please note that only one representative per organization may participate in the Funding Connections Lab. Additional team members will participate in the simultaneous capacity-building workshop.

Absolutely. Don’t worry, you are still part of the Encuentro experience.

The virtual preparation workshop was a prerequisite only for participating in the small-group Funding Connections Lab, not for attending Encuentro.

Don’t worry! You will have the opportunity to participate in the same capacity-building training in person at Encuentro, taking place simultaneously with the small-group funder conversations.

Yes. The Funding Connections Lab is only one part of the Encuentro experience. Funders will participate in the broader event, and every participating funder will receive the Encuentro Nonprofit Directory with the name, mission, contact information, and website of all participating organizations.

Come ready to learn, connect, share, and grow. We encourage you to review the program in advance, bring business cards or contact information if you have them, and be ready to meet organizations and partners from across Florida.

Participate fully. Introduce yourself to someone new, ask questions, exchange information, participate in your assigned sessions, and stay through the closing celebration. Encuentro is designed not only for learning, but also for building relationships that can continue long after the event.

Yes. Spanish interpretation will be available to support participation throughout the event.

If you previously requested an accommodation, our team has been working to coordinate those arrangements based on the information provided during registration and through our event communications.
