Corporate impact has experienced a shift. Legacy models rooted in traditional CSR and grantmaking activities are no longer sufficient to meet the growing mandate for integrated, aligned impact programs that create shared value for the company alongside communities. Across the sector, impact functions are increasingly expected to demonstrate their value in business terms: clearly articulated, measurable, and defensible alongside every other strategic investment.

What does that look like in practice? And what should impact professionals be doing now in order to accelerate their organization’s trajectory toward this more durable model of business-aligned impact?

Those questions and more will be the focus of this session of NationSwell’s Emerging Impact Leaders Program.

Join us for 90 minutes of insights, frameworks, peer connections, and guidance from senior practitioners that you can take back to your work and your team.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
