In an increasingly complex giving landscape, leaders in both the nonprofit and corporate sectors are navigating new challenges—and new opportunities—for impact. This forum offers a unique space to:

• Understand how policy shifts, such as the new 1% taxable income floor for corporate charitable deductions, are shaping corporate giving strategies.
• Explore how nonprofits and corporations can co-create shared value partnerships that go beyond check-writing to achieve measurable outcomes.
• Elevate and empower diverse leaders as DEI initiatives evolve in the face of changing public and political landscapes.

Whether you’re leading a nonprofit organization or driving CSR, ESG, or DEI strategy within a company, this forum will equip you with insight, connections, and tools to lead with clarity and purpose.

Coffee and pastry will be served in the Main Hall.
