We Are For Good

It’s here. The creator economy is upon us. What is it? And what does it mean for our missions? Join Jon + Becky + our dear (brilliant!) friend Amit Meredith with Classy GoFundMe for an insightful discussion on how social media is revolutionizing the way people discover, share and support causes. We're diving into GFM's latest report exploring how different generations—from Gen Z to Boomers—are engaging with charitable causes online. Learn how Gen Z is leading the charge in social giving, why impact creators are becoming powerful voices for change, and how nonprofits can harness the power of digital sharing to amplify their reach. Bring your notepad because we're talking trends, where the opportunities for activation are, and exploring who's doing it well. The influencer economy is here, and it presents INCREDIBLE opportunities for connection + amplification for causes. Join us and add to the conversation! Tag a friend below you'd like to see attend. We hope that's you! 🫵 (why does the pointing emoji feel so aggressive?🥸) #impactuprising
