Why attend
Purpose programs have become business-critical, and the people who lead them are fielding more questions from boards, finance and legal teams, employees and nonprofit partners.
That attention reflects how much the work now matters. It also means more to navigate, especially in the weeks leading up to Giving Season.
Partners in Purpose: Charlotte is your chance to step away from the day-to-day. Spend time with impact leaders and grantmakers from across the region who understand this work firsthand.
What to expect:
Peer roundtables
Small-group discussions focused on: showing where funds go, reaching employees wherever they work and getting ahead of stakeholder questions. Leave with one idea you can use before Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1.

Giving back together
A hands-on volunteer activity with Undies for Everyone, a nonprofit that provides new underwear to children experiencing poverty. You'll help pack donations alongside the other impact leaders in the room.
