HISTORY

History – In 2009 & 2011 the APEX Museum in collaboration with the Georgia Black United Fund (GBUF) hosted the APEX SHARE EXPO at the Georgia International Convention Center. The event brought together 50 nonprofit organizations to encourage collaborations and to expose the community to the work they are doing. In 2015 The APEX Museum and GBUF will host its first virtual SHARE EXPO which will provide a platform for 100 nonprofit organizations to present to the public the work they are doing with 24/7 access.

It will also offer nonprofit organizations access to discounts and pro-bono services and the opportunity to enroll in online workshops 24/7.
