Meet, Mingle, & Make an Impact!

Greenville is gearing up for a major collision of brains, heart, and big ideas at the Woven Together: SC Nonprofit Summit. Over 700 nonprofit and philanthropic leaders will converge at the Hyatt Regency on March 9-11 for three days of keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking that promise to spark collaborations across the state. For local businesses, sponsors, and corporate allies, this is a chance to see where social impact meets smart business strategy.

Networking That Actually Works

The summit offers plenty of opportunities to connect with movers and shakers from nonprofits and foundations across the state. These hours are designed for meaningful conversation, collaboration, and spotting potential partnerships that can drive community and economic impact.

At the summit, you’ll find over 35 sessions covering a variety of topics that shape the nonprofit and business landscape. From disaster response to cross-sector partnerships, participants will leave with actionable strategies to strengthen operations, boost innovation, and expand community impact. And with 8 hours of networking, there’s enough time to swap ideas, pitch collaborations, or just meet someone who shares your passion for community impact.

Big Names, Bigger Ideas

Big names on the agenda promise fresh ideas and perspectives that resonate beyond the nonprofit world. These leaders are reshaping how social good and business intersect in South Carolina and nationwide:

  • Suzanne Smith, MBA: Founder of Social Impact Architects, she is reshaping how business and social change intersect across industries.
  • Dr. Cory Scheer: Founder of TrustCentric®, exploring how building trust drives performance and resilience in organizations.
  • Meliah Bowers Jefferson: Executive Director of the Jolley Foundation, leading community engagement and resilience strategies in Greenville.

Showing up or sponsoring sends a clear message that a company is serious about the growing purpose economy. It also opens doors to workforce wellness programs, local initiatives, and partnerships that create impact while boosting brand credibility.

The 2026 Nonprofit Summit proves that nonprofits in South Carolina are not just doing good; they are driving real business and community growth. For anyone looking to connect, collaborate, or catch the next big idea in mission-driven leadership, Greenville is the place to be this March! Register today and get ready for three days of collaboration and connection.
