3rd Annual Community Impact Summit
BEYOND GOOD INTENTIONS
Turning Community Commitment into Community Impact

Join us on October 27th for our 3rd Annual Community Impact Summit. This is an exclusive opportunity to explore meaningful ways individuals can engage with member nonprofit organizations throughout various personal and professional development phases. This event will feature valuable insights from distinguished leaders within Charlotte&rsquo\;s nonprofit sector\, representing organizations of varying missions\, sizes\, and budgets.

Charlotte has no shortage of people who care about making our community better.

The question is: What happens when we move from caring to connecting\, and from connecting to doing?

The 3rd Annual Community Impact Summit brings nonprofit leaders\, business and corporate leaders\, volunteers\, and community-minded professionals into the same room to explore what is possible when we work together.

For nonprofits: Come tell your story\, build relationships and find new partners.
For businesses: Discover meaningful ways to engage your people\, resources\, and expertise.
For volunteers and community members: Find an organization\, a cause or an opportunity where you can make a difference.

One conversation can start a ripple. This is not a day of simply talking about community needs. It is a conversation about what we can do together.

Whether you&rsquo\;re steering a small organization or influencing a larger philanthropy\, this conversation is designed to leave you with practical insights and renewed energy. There will be a number of nonprofit organizations on hand to display their missions. We&rsquo\;ll also have time before and after the program for connecting and networking.
