Rather than a traditional conference, this event focuses on peer-level discussion, shared problem-solving, and real-world strategy around matching gifts and broader workplace giving programs.
The 2026 sessions will bring together a small cohort of nonprofit leaders to explore how corporate giving programs can be leveraged to deepen donor engagement, strengthen workplace partnerships, and drive long-term revenue growth.

Rather than focusing on product demos or sales pitches, the sessions emphasize collaboration, facilitated discussion, and practical takeaways. You’ll leave with new perspectives on growing corporate support, inspiring long-term donor advocacy, and evolving your matching gift and workplace giving approach alongside peers who operate at a similar scale.
