Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, we meet challenges and opportunities in our Charlotte community together. To celebrate our connections, renew our shared commitment to community, and to explore new ways to move forward together, we invite you to join us for the 2026 Community Impact Summit: Moving Forward Together on Thursday, May 14 from 9-noon. At the Summit, nonprofit leaders, community stewards, philanthropic funders, and area public and private sector leaders will: Launch FFTC:fwd — an innovative civic empowerment and engagement initiative that will expand access to information and insights on our most pressing challenges, strengthen our community’s ability to see and understand who is doing what, and make it easier and faster for more people, organizations, and institutions to Find What You Need to Lead. Foster meaningful connections — bring together nonprofits, corporate and family funders, and community volunteer and donor stewards for intentional relationship-building. Connect the dots — explore how our community challenges intersect and how FFTC:fwd will help all of us learn, connect, and take action. Have fun, energize and inspire — dynamic, creative experiences celebrating collaboration and what’s possible when we move forward together.
