Engage for Good

As the year winds down, we’re taking time to rest, reset, and reflect on all we’ve accomplished together: 🌟 We held our biggest to-date EFG2024 Conference in Minneapolis, with our first-ever The Halos Gala. We had the most diverse speaker line up who participated in 45 sessions for 650 attendees from hundreds of companies and organizations. 🌟 We launched our Local Leaders event series, the first one was in San Francisco in the spring, and one in the Fall in D.C. for BIPOC leaders, bringing together more than 100 CSI leaders to build connections and community. 🌟 Our webinars hosted more than 1,000 leaders on topics most important to finding, building, and sustaining corporate partnerships. 🌟 We launched our EFG consulting services with 6 incredible clients who now have a robust corporate partnership strategy built on EFG’s 20 years of experience. 🌟 We decided to take EFG2025 to sunny Palm Springs to balance deep learning with wellness, where we’ll discuss solutions for the many challenges that lay ahead for our sector. This community has been a driving force for change in 2024, and we’re so grateful for your passion and collaboration. Your work inspires us every day, and we’re excited to continue growing this community and making measurable progress together in 2025. Wishing you a joyful and restful season—we’ll see you in the New Year! 💙

"Today’s men and boys are lost, lonely, and dying by suicide at alarming rates... Men need better support, but that does not need to come at the expense of helping women. People of all genders are enmeshed in the same communities — if men can help each other find their place amid changes in the culture and the labor market, security and self-confidence will have ripple effects across their social networks. Shifting some focus — and charitable dollars — toward issues specifically affecting men’s health, education, and employment will benefit everyone."
