Authentic connection
Authentic connection
The Eight Connect is a relationship-centered networking initiative that brings together businesses and nonprofits in Evanston to foster collaboration, increase visibility, and build trust across sectors.
Born from our belief that equity starts with relationship, The Eight Connect creates intentional spaces for dialogue, connection, and community-based problem solving—because we know lasting impact is built at the intersection of shared purpose and mutual investment.
Too often, nonprofits and businesses work in silos. The Eight Connect bridges that gap by creating space for transformational, not transactional relationships. Together, we build a more cohesive, informed, and connected Evanston—one relationship at a time.
Whether you're a business owner seeking deeper community ties or a nonprofit looking for aligned partners, The Eight Connect is your invitation to build with Evanston.
