A Summit on Collaboration for Social Impact in Toronto
The Together for Impact Summit will bring nonprofits, funders, leaders and changemakers together in Toronto, hosted by The Good Growth Company.
Full-day event at Centre for Social Innovation will focus on collaboration, community, sector sustainability, practical learning and one-on-one expert support for social impact organizations
This fall, we are bringing together leaders from across the nonprofit, charitable, social impact, government and purpose-driven business sectors for the Together for Impact Summit. The full-day, in-person gathering is taking place on November 5, 2026 at the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto.
Designed for people and organizations working toward positive social change, the Summit will focus on collaboration and community, including practical skill-building and partnerships to strengthen organizations and scale impact.
The full-day event will feature a keynote, a fireside chat, practical sessions, and a panel discussion, along with curated one-on-one consultations and dedicated time for meaningful networking.
Tickets are available here. Earlybird ends before July does.
Hosted by The Good Growth Company after hosting dozens of online trainings and in-person workshops, the Together for Impact Summit was created to support the many nonprofit professionals, social-purpose organizations and businesses, community leaders, funders, consultants, government representatives and changemakers who are seeking new ways to collaborate, strengthen their teams and increase their impact in the communities they serve.
“Many in the social good space are being asked to do more with less, while navigating major shifts in funding, technology, trust and community needs. There are plenty of large legacy conferences — this is not another one. The Summit is about creating a space where those dedicated to social impact can gather, learn new approaches and practical skills, and have the kinds of real conversations that lead to stronger partnerships and more sustainable impact.”
— Daniel Francavilla, Founder of The Good Growth Company, and a Toronto-based Content & Brand Strategist
The Summit’s theme centres on the role of collaboration in building stronger organizations, healthier teams and more connected communities. The day will explore how nonprofits, charities, funders, businesses, consultants, governments and social-purpose leaders can work together more effectively to address shared challenges and create lasting value.
The schedule is now live, with confirmed talks and sessions including an opening keynote on Courage, Care & Collaboration: What Changemaker Wellbeing Means for Sector Impact by Anouk Bertner, Executive Director of Future of Good. The fireside chat will be a conversation on Embedded Collaboration: Balancing Business & Social Impact, featuring Colin Hennigar of both SickKids Foundation and Upside Foundation, and Peter Deitz of Unwrapit.
Session topics include Revenue Diversification: The Path to Financial Sustainability with Pierre Wijdenes of Thriving Nonprofits, Smarter Email for Community Engagement: Building Trust, Participation and Support with Nihal Mandanna and Geoffrey Blanc of Cyberimpact, and more to be announced.
The Collaboration Imperative will be the dynamic discussion with nonprofit leaders, funders and public-sector voices on the power of collaboration between organizations, government and businesses. Hosted by Tasha Van Vlack of The Nonprofit Hive, the panel will include Aneil Gokhale of Toronto Foundation, Chi Nguyen, MP for Spadina—Harbourfront, Ryan O’Neil Knight of ACBN (Afro Caribbean Business Network), and more.
In addition to this programming, the Summit will feature one-on-one consultations in the afternoon. These sessions provide attendees with the opportunity to meet with subject-matter experts for focused support on topics ranging from fundraising and communications to governance, community engagement, and organizational growth. The one-on-one sessions will be with experts and leaders from Ontario Nonprofit Network, Charity Shift, Further Together, DoGood Funding, and more.
