What happens when a corporate–nonprofit relationship moves beyond funding and becomes a true ecosystem for shared impact? In this refreshed Based on their published case study, leaders from Bread Financial and Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX) will expand upon their partnership-centered philanthropy model and share how it has continued to evolve.

Together, they will explore how trust-based funding, strategic sponsorship, cause marketing, associate engagement, executive leadership, storytelling, research, and partner-network activation can combine to help a nonprofit scale its mission while deepening a company’s purpose-driven community investment. Attendees will hear updated results from the partnership, including expanded national reach, increased funding, and deeper stakeholder engagement, while gaining practical ideas for building corporate–nonprofit partnerships that are durable, measurable, and mutually valuable.

This session is designed for corporate social impact leaders, nonprofit professionals, and partnership builders who want to move beyond transactional giving and create long-term relationships grounded in trust, alignment, accountability, and shared value.
