The FirstBank Charitable Foundation will host its second annual Better Giving for Greater Impact Summit on May 7 from 9:00 AM-4:30 PM at the Chester County History Center (225 N. High St., West Chester).
The Better Giving for Greater Impact Summit (BG4GI) brings together everyone who cares about making a difference — donors, foundations, businesses, and nonprofit leaders — to create powerful change where it matters most: right in your own community.
This isn’t just another conference. It’s a dynamic meeting ground where:
- Nonprofit leaders connect, share ideas, and build partnerships.
- Donors discover how their giving can create a lasting impact.
- Everyone learns practical strategies to make every dollar count.
By focusing on local giving first, the Summit shows how strategic philanthropy close to home creates ripple effects that strengthen entire communities.
