We experienced both grand inspiration and heartfelt connection at our first Grand Social Impact gathering, where Lori Elder and Anthony Harrison shared their passion for making a meaningful difference in the world. Together, they reminded us that social impact can start small but grows when we align our values with action, create trusted spaces for collaboration, and support one another in practical, measurable ways.

We explored how defining our giving pillars, nurturing the right relationships, and addressing real challenges—like time constraints, compliance demands, and funding—can help us serve our causes with purpose and prevent burnout. This gathering showed us that when we come together in generosity and trust, we create ripples of change that reach far beyond our own circles.

🌟 Highlights:

• Social impact is about making a positive difference in the world—often driven by a personal connection to the cause.
• Businesses can be more effective givers by defining clear “pillars” for their giving that align with their vision and goals.
• Safe, trusted spaces for businesses and nonprofits foster open sharing, collaboration, and strategic partnerships.
• Curated events can help match nonprofits and businesses for mutually beneficial connections.
• Social impact efforts can be big or small—what matters is showing up in a way that works for you, without fear of starting small.
• Relationships and collaboration are at the heart of making meaningful change, and this group is committed to both.
• Common challenges for charities include being time-poor, increased compliance demands, reduced funding, and declining volunteers.
• Smaller charities often struggle to compete with larger ones for funds, grants, and business partnerships.
• The group’s goal is to help members share wins, connect with the right people each month, and measure tangible progress together.
