It highlights opportunities for companies and individuals to leverage their skills – our largest untapped philanthropic asset – to help nonprofits meet increased needs. Adding Elizabeth and Katie to the team during this time enables us to meet the growing demand from nonprofits and partner with companies to shape their social impact strategies to align with the changing needs of the current moment.”

“The potential that is unleashed when corporate and nonprofit executives work together to solve community challenges is game-changing. I see the work of Common Impact spotlighting and advancing those opportunities for impact.
