A KaffeeKlatsch is a weekly virtual gathering—part conversation, part connection, part collective wisdom. Inspired by the tradition of friends gathering over coffee, this is where nonprofit professionals and donors come together to share insight, explore challenges, and strengthen their impact. No slides. No fluff. Just 50 minutes of focused, thoughtful exchange every Friday.

KaffeeKlatsches are for nonprofit professionals, values-aligned donors, board members, and community champions alike. Whether you lead programs, raise funds, manage operations, teach, serve on a board, or invest in social good—this is a space for you. Everyone who cares about strengthening the nonprofit sector is welcome.

Every Friday for 50 minutes, we meet on Zoom—48 weeks a year.

• First Fridays: Cross-sector conversations with peers from across the nonprofit and philanthropic landscape.

• Other Fridays: Breakout sessions by role—fundraisers with fundraisers, donors with donors, etc.—for more focused peer insight.

Each session opens with a short centering prompt or 10-minute micro-training. From there, you’ll join rotating small groups where honest, energizing conversation unfolds.

Everything. This is not passive learning—it’s an active, relational experience. No long slide decks. No lectures. Just real dialogue among people who do what you do or give because they believe in what you do. It’s a space to be supported, not just informed.

Our official kickoff is Friday, August 8, 2025.

You can sign-up now (no credit card required), receive a free digital gift—the 31-Day Nonprofit Reflection Deck—and be among the first invited to enroll.

Your sign-up alerts us to your interest and enrolls you in our free August KaffeeKlatsches, starting Friday, August 8th. It’s a no-pressure way to step in early and help shape the community from the start.

All August (starting 8/8) and September sessions are free. And after that, priced as accessibly as a cup of coffee for all who serve.

• Monthly membership: $20/month, with your first month free. Cancel anytime.

• Annual membership: $200/year (that’s two months free).

This pricing is intentional—like your favorite cup of coffee or streaming service, our goal is to make these live sessions nourishing, regular, and accessible to all.

Because the people who hold up this sector deserve meaningful, high-quality support—and creating that kind of space takes time, care, and resources.

VincentViktoria KaffeeKlatsches aren’t webinars or one-off trainings. They’re a weekly live practice in clarity, connection, and professional strength. Each session is organized and facilitated to offer real support—not more noise—and to be as accessible as possible.

Every dollar supports the mission of strengthening those who serve—so that nonprofits can lead with greater clarity, courage, and connection.

We’ve intentionally priced each session at about the cost of a cup of coffee, because we believe professional growth shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be a shared practice—sustainable, supportive, and rooted in mutual respect and shared strength.

Please do! For every paid annual member you refer, you’ll receive a $10 non-refundable credit toward your own membership or premium offerings. Invite 10 peers who sign up for an annual membership and your own annual membership drops to just $100/year. You’re helping build the community—and we want to thank you for it.

Fantastic! We encourage that. This is professional development that fuels your mission—equipping your team with real-time insights through peer learning. We want to make group registration easy. Just email denasue@vincentviktoria.com for a single payment option and simplified group registration.

That’s okay. Come when you can. The value of this space is in the rhythm, not perfection. Even joining 2–3 times a month can be transformative. Some weeks, you’ll listen more than talk. Others, you’ll share something that sparks clarity for someone else. It all matters.

That’s exactly why this space exists. Whether you’re overwhelmed, under-resourced, or questioning your next step—this is a place to gather your thoughts, renew your purpose, and be reminded you’re not in this alone.

We’re so glad you’re here. The future of the sector depends on better alignment between givers and doers. KaffeeKlatsches are designed to include donors—not to pitch you, but to invite your voice, perspective, and partnership into the conversation. You’ll meet fellow donors and connect with nonprofit professionals in a values-led, nonpartisan space.

We are nonpartisan—but not apolitical. That means we don’t endorse candidates or parties, but we do speak up on the values, issues, and policies that shape the lives of the people we serve. Our commitment to nonpartisan dialogue ensures this space remains inclusive, principled, and action-oriented.

Because the sector is being stretched—and the old ways aren’t enough. This moment calls for clarity, courage, and community. The VincentViktoria KaffeeKlatsch is a response to that call—a movement toward shared strength, collective wisdom, and the kind of connection that sustains careers and fuels causes.

“KaffeeKlatsch” is a nod to the German tradition of coffee and conversation—a warm, informal space to connect meaningfully. At VincentViktoria, we’ve reimagined it as a virtual gathering space for nonprofit professionals and donors to think out loud, feel supported, and rise together.

“Per Aspera Ad Astra, Dum Spiro Spero” is Latin for “Through hardship to the stars. While I breathe, I hope.”

It’s more than a phrase—it’s the heartbeat of the VincentViktoria KaffeeKlatsch. In a time when nonprofit professionals and values-driven donors face extraordinary challenges—burnout, budget cuts, rising need—this motto reminds us that even in struggle, there’s possibility.

“Per Aspera Ad Astra” honors the resilience required to navigate hardship in service of something bigger—something luminous. “Dum Spiro Spero” centers us in hope, affirming that as long as we have breath, we have the power to act, connect, and change the world.

Together, these words reflect the spirit of the movement: grounded in reality, reaching for something better, and fueled by the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.
