About social purpose events
- What counts as a social purpose event?
- Social purpose events focus on organizations that exist to create social value alongside financial value. They cover social enterprise and B Corp practice, corporate citizenship and community investment, nonprofit capacity building, and systems-change approaches to social problems. Attendees are typically social purpose and community investment leads, nonprofit leaders, and corporate citizenship teams.
- How are social purpose events chosen for this directory?
- Events reach the directory two ways: an automated pipeline monitors organizer and industry sources daily, and organizers submit events directly. Both routes land in the same review queue, and an editor approves or rejects each one. Nothing is published automatically.
- Are these events free?
- Both free and paid events are listed. Where an organizer publishes a price, it appears on the listing; where no price is published, the listing says so and links to the event site rather than guessing.
