Today, nonprofits are facing a perfect storm: declining donations, unstable federal funding, increasing polarization, and historic levels of need across communities.  

But corporate funders are uniquely positioned to step in, not just with funding, but with strategic support that builds long-term resilience. 

In this timely conversation, senior CSR leaders will explore how their companies are evolving their philanthropic strategies to meet the moment. From investing in nonprofit capacity to making decisions in an increasingly risky environment, this conversation will highlight how corporations are redefining what it means to be a strategic partner in today’s landscape. 

We’ll unpack how leading social impact programs are: 

  • Rethinking their approach to nonprofit funding — shifting from short-term grants to long-term capacity-building and trust-based models. 

  • Supporting nonprofit partners in scaling their operations amid declining public resources and rising demand.
     
  • Navigating increased political polarization while staying committed to equity and community investment.
     
  • What funders are learning now that will shape strategy heading into 2026

Don't wait until 2026 to reimagine your role as a strategic partner. Join this conversation to hear how your peers are leading differently and where corporate philanthropy is headed next.
