Impact Gathering

 

Do Good, Better.

LEAP’s Impact Gathering is an event that brings together leaders from across the private, social and government sectors to discuss how we can collectively solve the most pressing social issues. Past Impact Gatherings have explored the opportunities and challenges faced by social ventures during the pandemic, examined cutting edge models and innovations in the field of venture philanthropy, and focused on the urgent need to substantially improve the well-being of women post COVID-19.
