Who We Are
The infrastructure behind the mission.
Universal Events Inc. is a B2B consulting and supply firm based in San Ramon, California. We provide professional business frameworks, product supply, and high-level consulting to 20+ independently owned and operated offices across the United States.
Founded by Harmony Vallejo, we have spent over a decade building the infrastructure for independently owned offices to operate effectively — providing the frameworks, supply chain, and consulting that let each office focus on serving their nonprofit partners and local communities.

Our Mission
We exist to remove the operational burden from nonprofits and for-profit companies so they can do more of what they are actually built to do.
Building a compliant, well-staffed, operationally sound organization from scratch is hard. Most organizations struggle with the infrastructure long before they struggle with the mission. We solve that. We come in as the back-office partner and handle recruiting, compliance, operations, legal support, finance, and logistics end to end.
Our clients do not have to think about permits, payroll structure, hiring pipelines, or supply chains. That is our job — and we are very good at it.
Our Values
Operational Excellence
We hold ourselves to a high standard in everything we deliver. Our clients depend on us to get it right — and we take that seriously.
Relentless Integrity
We handle sensitive functions for our clients — payroll, compliance, legal, accounts. Trust is everything. We earn it through transparency and consistency.
People First
Great infrastructure is built on great people. We invest in our team, develop talent from within, and build organizations that others want to be part of.
Growth Without Shortcuts
We build infrastructure that scales. Long-term partnerships built on results, not promises, and systems designed to grow with our clients.
Values in Action
How we show up
A few recent examples of what our values look like in practice.
Growth Without Shortcuts
14 Directors Promoted From Within
In the last three years, every Regional Director on our leadership team started in the field. We don't import leadership — we grow it from people who already know the work.
Community as Culture
Youth Mentorship in 4 Cities
38 staff members are matched one-on-one with a young person through Big Brothers Big Sisters. Four hours a month, on the clock, building the kind of consistent presence that changes a life.

Harmony Vallejo
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Harmony founded Universal Events with a single belief: that real change happens when real people connect. Starting from the ground up in field operations, she built one of the country's most trusted back-office infrastructure firms for mission-driven organizations — serving nonprofits and for-profit companies across 14 states.
Over more than a decade, Harmony has developed recruiting pipelines, compliance frameworks, finance operations, and logistics systems for organizations that needed more than good intentions. She is the reason 200,000+ people have been reached through Universal Events partner programs.
Her work has earned her recognition in Marquis Who's Who, an AFP membership, and the Nonprofit Leadership Award — and she continues to represent the field as a speaker, mentor, and advocate for operational excellence in the nonprofit sector.
