Community Partnership
Xchange Breakfast
The community partnership breakfast was launched as a community-based effort to improve civic engagement by distributing fact-based information to develop more home-grown advocates. These breakfasts aim to inspire grassroots leadership to organize around shared interests, resulting in community capital. forms, and a springboard of diverse access and direct referral contacts.
Guidelines and Co-Sponsorships
Guidelines Development – began in 2009 and are updated as needed. The years before 2009 were our learning curve years on why and what type of guidelines were required. New policy adoptions are in January – circumstances may warrant immediate adoption. These breakfasts are non-partisan, and we extend invitations to members of the human family.
We have ushers, police officers, or designated escorts to remove persons exhibiting disruptive behavior.
The breakfasts are held at private venues, and we post signage stating you must have an official ticket to enter Charity Productions’ private events. These breakfasts are not free to non-elected officials, vendors, or for-profit businesses or services. All co-sponsorship payments must be in hand 15 days before the event. Our mailing address is 8607 MLK Houston, Texas 77033.
Co-Sponsors – As part of our crowd control since 2009, we have scaled back on attendees, co-sponsors, and vendors. All co-sponsorships are to be paid 15 days before the event. If not, you are subject to a $150.00, late fee. if a person or business is seeking a co-sponsorship the day of the event or pop-up, an additional $450.00, is added, in cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
