NEST Fundraiser

We are incredibly grateful to share the success of our recent NEST fundraiser event, made possible by the generous support of so many people and partners in our community.

First and foremost, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to The Iberian Pig for graciously hosting us. From the atmosphere to the service, everything about the evening helped create a space where connection, conversation, and purpose could come together. Your hospitality played a major role in making this event feel both special and meaningful, and we truly appreciate your partnership in supporting youth entrepreneurship and education.

We also want to thank everyone who attended the event. Seeing so many supporters, mentors, families, and friends come together reminded us why NEST exists in the first place. Every conversation, every donation, and every moment of engagement helped build momentum around a shared goal: empowering the next generation of student founders.

A special thank you goes to our amazing partners at Odyssey. Your continued support, collaboration, and belief in our mission have been instrumental in helping us grow. Having partners like you strengthens everything we do, from curriculum development to student outreach, and we are deeply grateful for your involvement.

Because of this collective effort, we are proud to announce that we raised over $20,000 through this fundraiser. This is an incredible milestone for NEST and a powerful step forward in expanding our impact.

These funds will go directly back into our programs in several key ways. First, they will help us support youth-led startups by providing them with the resources, mentorship, and guidance they need to grow their ideas into real ventures. Second, this funding will allow us to expand our educational seminars, giving more students access to hands-on learning in entrepreneurship, leadership, and business fundamentals. Finally, it will help us strengthen and improve our course curriculum and student outreach efforts, ensuring that more young people can discover NEST and benefit from what we offer.

This fundraiser was more than just an event—it was a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together around a shared purpose. We are excited about what this means for the future of NEST and even more excited about the students whose ideas and ambition will be supported because of it.

Thank you again to everyone who made this possible.
