3pm-8pm
Commas Food Hall- 8661 Colesville Rd- Level 3- Silver Spring, MD 20910
The Current Effect is an unconventional gala experience designed to celebrate and empower nonprofit leaders, advocates, and mission-driven organizations. This annual event replaces formal dinners with activations, music, and immersive impact-building. It’s a space where purpose meets community — bringing together changemakers, businesses, and creatives to recharge, connect, and celebrate their collective work.
This isn’t your typical fundraising gala. We’re not about crystal chandeliers and chicken entrées — we’re about connection, culture, and community.
🎟 Ticket Tiers
Supporter: $25 – Perfect for those passing by and/or out-of-town visitors who are in for the evening.

🗓 What to Expect
Picture this:
Attire: Whatever makes you feel like the best version of YOU.
A hands-on hygiene kit build activity where every guest creates something that directly impacts our community.
On-site Coat drive to donate to a local shelter for the unhoused,
Live music, photo activations, food buffets, and signature cocktails that keep the energy high.
Nonprofit leaders + sponsors mingling in a space designed for collaboration, not just networking.
This is how you celebrate the work, the wins, and the people behind them.
🧠 Featured Activations
Vendor Market | Photo Activation | Kit Building Activity | Games | Live Entertainment | Silent Auction | Surprise Special Guest | — and more!
✨ Why It Matters
