The last year put corporate purpose to the test. As programs came under increased scrutiny, companies quietly changed how they talked about their commitments publicly, AI brought unprecedented anxiety and opportunity, and new pressures landed on nonprofits already stretched thin. And yet impact professionals like you rose to the occasion.
The Benevity Impact Labs new report, the State of Corporate Purpose 2026 (coming soon!), uncovers uncomfortable realities about the ways corporate purpose spent the year on defense. With data from over 400 organizations around the globe, including the world's largest brands and 165 nonprofits, it reveals how companies absorbed the shockwaves of 2025 — and how they are recalibrating for what comes next.
Join Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer at Benevity, and Eva Taylor, Director of Impact Labs at Benevity, as they unpack five trends shaping the future of corporate purpose and what they mean for your strategy right now.
