Presented by the Collective Impact Forum

Join us this spring for the 2026 Collective Impact Action Summit, an online gathering of changemakers, backbone leaders, funders, and community partners who believe that collaboration, courage, and shared learning can light the way forward.

Over three days (4/14-4/16), we’ll reconnect with what sustains us—community joy—through powerful keynotes on storytelling, the arts, and civic engagement. And in the hands-on breakout sessions, we’ll dig into six practical areas that are essential for collaborating in today’s context: community engagement, data and learning, narrative change, fundraising and sustainability, policy and advocacy, and technology and AI for collaboration.

The 2026 Collective Impact Action Summit will feature:

• Over 30 practical sessions that elevate examples of effective practices for advancing your collaborative's work. 

• Recordings of most conference sessions available for attendees to view up to three months following the event
• Opportunity to connect, learn, and network with over 1,000 backbone leaders, practitioners, funders, partners and more from around the world

Presented by Women's Refugee Care

Women’s Refugee Care (WRC) cordially invites you to the International Women’s Day 2026 celebration, which will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 11 am at 325 public St. ( The Met high school), Providence, Rhode Island.

This year’s theme is Resilience and Hope. We aim to celebrate the strength of women who have remained resilient through life’s challenges and built new lives in unfamiliar environments. As we celebrate these women, we are reminded that every act of kindness, understanding, and advocacy helps sustain their resilience and hope, creating a future where all women—regardless of background—feel seen, heard, and empowered.
