The work is heavy. Budgets are tight. But civil society is still showing up with incredible courage and commitment. Join TechSoup CEO Marnie Webb and GivingTuesday CEO Asha Curran for a candid conversation that acknowledges the challenges while celebrating the power of grassroots organizations.

Drawing on over a decade of research from the GivingTuesday Data Commons, Marnie and Asha will discuss how they both build capacity for change—one through technology, the other through community engagement. They'll explore their shared belief that local community leaders and small organizations are the true engines of global good, and how their work builds social trust and brings people together. It's a discussion that affirms why, even on the toughest days, showing up matters.
