Nonprofit and corporate leaders can collaborate to strengthen and expand the reach of community initiatives with these practical, actionable steps. Cross-sector collaboration will take center stage at the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2026 Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Symposium on March 26. GHJ Partner and Nonprofit Tax Practice Leader Lizbeth Nevarez will speak on a panel that examines how nonprofits and businesses are coming together to build stronger communities.

  • How corporations, nonprofits and public agencies can better align priorities to drive collective impact
  • How partnerships can remain flexible and responsive as community needs rapidly shift in real time
  • Advice for organizations looking to form more strategic, impact-driven collaborations
