Your voice, your visibility, and the way you use your resources all have the power to create a ripple effect far beyond your business.

Kami Guildner is joined by Jennifer Stapleton, founder of Fire and Bliss, to explore what’s happening in philanthropy right now, how foundations are using their voices alongside their dollars, and how we can become more thoughtful about our own giving.

Early Bird pricing ends September 15. Come explore fresh ideas, expand what’s possible in your business, and build relationships that help you grow with greater purpose, prosperity, and joy.
