What is the business case for building and maintaining corporate-community partnerships to address complex social problems? Corporations and community groups alike have much to gain, and lose, from these arrangements. Join an interactive audience of nonprofit, corporate and academic leaders exploring both the potential and the pitfalls of combining corporate and community know-how and resources. The conference will feature three live case studies:

Sister Mary Scullion, co-founder and Executive Director of Project H.O.M.E discussing her approach to initiating partnerships with corporate funders while maintaining the delicate balance between opportunism and strategy.


Chip Roach, former Chair of Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors, describing the business impact of the firm’s investment in dozens of community housing organizations.


Executives from City Year Philadelphia and The Timberland Company, reflecting on the daily negotiations required to balance community and corporate interests and goals.
