Leading with Impact — The New Standard
“What’s the impact?” Like many of you, we’re constantly asking ourselves this question. Traditionally, the answers have been inputs (e.g., total donations, number of grants given, etc.). However, as Benevity aims to inspire over 100 million acts of goodness in the next five years, we’re looking to social impact as our new standard of measure. Join this session to learn about this shift and what to expect as Benevity grounds its platform in enterprise impact.
Speaker: Patrick Callaghan Pace, Principal Account Executive, Benevity
The Future of Employee Giving
When you engage your teams in giving, they engage in you! In fact, companies see a 52% lower turnover among newer employees when they participate in purpose programmes like workplace giving. And, longer tenured employees are 29% less likely to leave. Join this session to learn about how the world's most generous companies are engaging their teams in giving to their communities.
Speaker: Robert McWhirter, Product Manager, Benevity

Speaker: Mira Shemtov, Principal Account Executive, Benevity
How to Supercharge Your Employee Resource Groups
