Join the Mayor’s Corporate Engagement Council for an afternoon with corporate philanthropy leaders from across Central Texas at our annual summit.

Hear the latest data on the state of corporate giving, explore strategies to align philanthropy with your company’s bottom line, gain insights on staying true to your values while navigating scrutiny and discover the power of partnerships in driving lasting impact.

This is a ticketed event open to all. A hosted reception will follow the program.

Doing good is good business. Join local leaders for a dynamic conversation on how top performing companies engage employees and customers, strengthen their brands, and grow their bottom line. We’ll explore how purposeful CSR strategies drive results—creating lasting impact for both business and community.

Today’s audiences expect more than statements, they expect sincerity and follow-through. This session explores how companies can communicate their philanthropy in ways that feel authentic, strategic and aligned with their values. From developing a message framework to integrating community impact into brand storytelling, we’ll discuss where to start, how to stay consistent and how to navigate sensitive topics with confidence. Whether you’re refining established messaging or building it from scratch, you’ll leave with practical insights and examples for making your company’s giving story both meaningful and sustainable.

Corporate social responsibility is no longer about one-size-fits-all volunteer days or top-down philanthropy. Today’s most effective CSR leaders are empowering employees to engage with causes that resonate personally—while still building strong, strategic partnerships with nonprofit organizations. This session explores how companies can evolve their giving strategies to align organizational impact with individual passion, creating programs that strengthen both community outcomes and company culture.
