Economic Impact Forum: The Impact of Giving

About this event

Giving back strengthens more than our community-it strengthens businesses, employees, and the economy we all share. Join the Fort Worth Chamber for our final Economic Impact Forum of the year, presented by UTA West, as we explore the Impact of Giving from two distinct perspectives: how businesses can create a culture of generosity within their organizations, and the significant role nonprofits play in supporting Fort Worth's economy and quality of life. Creating a Culture of Giving How can companies make giving back part of their culture-not just a once-a-year initiative? Business and nonprofit leaders will share successful approaches to employee giving, volunteerism, and community partnerships, along with practical ideas for engaging employees and building a culture of service. Attendees will hear how businesses of all sizes can create meaningful opportunities for employees to give their time, talents and resources-and how those efforts can strengthen both company culture and community connections. The Economic Impact of Nonprofits Nonprofits are an essential part of Fort Worth's economic and community infrastructure, providing critical services that help individuals and families remain stable, healthy, and economically productive. Local nonprofit leaders will take us behind the numbers to demonstrate the scale-and often unseen economic value-of their work. From addressing food insecurity and homelessness to supporting workforce participation and family stability, this conversation will examine the needs nonprofits fill, the economic impact they generate, and what is at stake as resources and public funding become increasingly constrained. Together, these conversations will offer a broader look at what giving means for Fort Worth-and the important role businesses, employees and nonprofit organizations each play in building a stronger, more resilient community.
