Philanthropy Friday: Global Impact Summit

jennifer · October 31, 2014 · 10 Comments

Each Friday, the another jennifer blog shares stories of those who incorporate philanthropy into their everyday lives – personally and professionally – in a creative and unique way. If you have a story you’d like to share, please contact Jennifer.

The Global Impact Summit, an online event happening November 10 – 28 on your computer (if you so choose), includes 30 thought leaders in 15 Inspiring days. It is “all about Purpose, Strategy & Action and how you can create a profound difference in the world with your business through the IMPACT of giving.”
When I received an email from my friend Paul Dunn of B1G1, I had to share this event. Not only does it sound incredibly insightful for entrepreneurs and change makers, the Global Impact Summit is free with a donation of as little as $5. True to the B1G1 giving model, you can select a giving project that you’d like to support when you attend the summit. As you can see in the screenshot below, I chose to give a child access to life-saving water for 5 years. With just $10!
globalimpactsummitFrom the Global Impact Summit website:

We believe that businesses have the power to change our world.
All of the speakers at this Summit are here to empower you and the businesses you’re a part of to create greater results and at the same time give back to create the real change we want to see.
So we ask you to implement the learning into your daily business practice so that you inspire others to create a positive impact too.

The line up of speakers sounds pretty great too. You can find each of the leaders featured on the the B1G1 Facebook page.
Find out more about the summit, take a look at the schedule, and register.

    OH gosh this sounds AMAZING!!! I just love that you can donate to a mission of your choice, and I am amazed that just ten bucks can give life-saving water to a child for FIVE YEARS!! Wow.

      Hi Bev, even if you cannot attend all of the live sessions, you will receive the recording links right after each session, so we hope you will join us. All the speakers are really happy to be on this Summit too because of the unique focus. And already so many impacts have been created through everyone’s giving. 🙂
