Collective Action Summits

Where cross-sector leaders design what’s next in corporate social impact, together.
Collective Action Summits are intimate, invite-only gatherings for 50 senior leaders who are serious about moving beyond talk to coordinated action. Each summit focuses on a single urgent issue - like food security, climate resilience, housing, or disaster response - and brings together nonprofit executives, corporate funders, foundations, agencies, and innovators to ask a simple question: how can we share our resources to reach our shared goals to solve a pressing issue?

Collective Action Summits

Where cross-sector leaders design what’s next in corporate social impact, together.
Engage for Good partners with nonprofits and companies to design, strengthen, and scale corporate social impact strategies that deliver real results for communities and business alike. We do not sell theory or generic playbooks. We bring two decades of field-tested insight, deep cross-sector relationships, and a clear understanding of what it takes to make partnerships work in today's environment.

Why Collective Action Summits Exist

The biggest social challenges are too complex for any one organization or sector to solve, yet most leaders are forced to operate in silos. Many are chasing the same funding, running parallel programs, designing duplicative programs, and rarely having space to align on shared solutions.
These Summits are designed to shift that pattern. They create a safe, neutral environment where competing or siloed organizations can explore collaboration, alignment, and co-investment without brand risk or competitive pressure.

What to Expect at a Summit

The Summit is designed to unlock stronger, more aligned partnership and corporate investment models that help leaders move farther, faster, together. Through structured dialogue and expert facilitation, participants will:

1

Identify Shared Challenges, Gaps, and Opportunities
Map the issue ecosystem to surface operational, logistical, and funding challenges that multiple organizations face and pinpoint the areas where coordinated corporate and philanthropic investment can create the greatest leverage.

2

Strengthen Collaboration and Co-Investment Models
Explore practical ways for companies, nonprofits, and funders to align strategies, share resources, and co-create initiatives. This includes testing models for pooled funding, shared pilots, de-risked experimentation, and scalable cross-sector approaches.

3

Co-Design Near-Term, Actionable Pilots
Identify collaboratives, campaigns, or investment strategies that can gain traction within 90 days, ensuring that the Summit translates directly into measurable progress for existing or new efforts.

4

Build Trust for Long-Term Partnership
Create the conditions for candid, honest exchange; strengthening relationships among corporate funders, nonprofit leaders, and national/local program implementers, and laying the groundwork for continued collaboration beyond the Summit.

5

Codify and Share Learnings for the Field
Publish a co-branded white paper capturing insights, frameworks, and next-generation partnership models on the issue, and present collective outcomes at the Engage for Good Conference to extend the Summit's impact across the sector.
