About the Collective
Now entering its third year in Los Angeles and fourth in Washington, D.C., the Social Enterprise Collective has become a national hub for cross-sector collaboration. Each year, the Collective brings together philanthropists, executives, founders, educators, and policy leaders for a listening-first experience that transforms ideas into action.
In 2026, we’ll explore how philanthropy, vision, and action intersect to create lasting impact through inspiring panels, fireside chats, and immersive networking that spark new alliances for social good.
