With that level of customization\, are there standards and best practices we can adhere to in how funders and partners measure the impact of this work? Or are place-based initiatives fundamentally at odds with a consistent measurement approach? \nIn this NationSwell leader roundtable\, we’ll convene a group of place-based funders and practitioners to explore the topic of what it takes to successfully measure place-based work\, and whether there are universal principles worth adapting to each unique context. \nJust us for an important and pragmatic discussion among peers that leverages three years of learnings from NationSwell’s Place-Based Impact Collaborative. \nTo 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.

The conversation will move beyond traditional “volunteer program” framing to position mentorship as critical workforce and social-impact infrastructure that strengthens leadership development\, employee engagement\, and economic mobility for young people. \nThis will be a working session and feasibility exercise for an emerging university-backed mentor certification and enterprise engagement model. Participants will pressure-test key assumptions around the business value of mentorship\, identify the most compelling use cases and buyers within companies\, and help define how to articulate the ROI of mentorship\, including leadership development\, manager readiness\, avoided training costs\, talent attraction and retention\, employee purpose and engagement\, and brand value.

However\, this also requires understanding how to build durable\, diversified funding for land stewardship — and how to maintain coalitions of ranchers\, agencies\, funders\, and businesses around a shared landscape over the long term. \nThe Florida Wildlife Corridor offers a proving ground: a nearly 18-million-acre framework with bipartisan support and a working coalition that is leveraging innovative financing mechanisms and local storytelling to navigate these questions and more. The model provides organizations\, funders\, and leaders across a range of geographies and settings with a useful reference point — rich with insights and transferable wisdom for the field. \nJoin NationSwell and Live Wildly for an intimate braintrust to explore the role land conservation plays as a win-win climate solution\, trade hard-won lessons on conservation finance\, and to explore ways to replicate and scale the Florida Wildlife Corridor model across the country. \nTo 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.
