The B Corp Collective Impact Fund – Systems Change Requires Collective Investment
Thursday April 23, 2026 12:15pm - 1:15pm CDT
Systems Change Requires Collective Investment
No single company, no matter how responsible, can transform an economic system on its own. The challenges B Corps care about most – climate action, inequality, corporate accountability – demand coordinated, well-funded efforts that operate at the level of policy, culture, and markets. B Lab’s newly-launched Collective Impact Fund is the mechanism by which the B Corp community can now pool resources to pursue change at that scale.
The Collective Impact Fund makes this work of B Lab’s movement building team possible. By contributing, you are investing in the future of an economic system that works for all stakeholders. We invite you to join us to hear more!

Who Should Attend
This session is open to all B Corps attending Champion’s Retreat who value balancing purpose and profit and want to learn more about the goal of B Lab’s Collective Impact Fund. We’ll discuss how your philanthropic gifts can directly support the movement to make it possible for businesses like yours to lead differently, as well as how you can get involved.

Feel free to join the room early to eat lunch and connect with other B Corps attending the session. Lunch buffets will be available in the 4th floor and 2nd floor hallways. You are welcome to grab your lunch from one of the buffet stations and bring it into the meeting room to eat during the session.
