Networking To Help Children is committed to connecting and uplifting nonprofits that support children and families, using the power of networking to create a community of collaboration, growth and shared resources.
Our vision is to build a collaborative ecosystem where nonprofits working with children and families are equipped with resources, partnerships and support to achieve their missions and transform lives.
Networking To Help Children was incorporated in 2014 by Board Chair David Chirico. His passion for helping children in need and his talent for bringing people together through networking led to the creation of the monthly events now known as Networking To Help Children, and in 2016 the organization achieved 501(c)(3) status. To date it has raised and donated $864,537.96 to local nonprofit organizations that serve children in Palm Beach County, Florida and surrounding areas.
In 2026 David was nominated for the Community Hero Award at Nonprofits First's 9th Annual Hats Off Awards.
Volunteers, all of them. Here is why each one shows up.
