Building Impact

Building Impact is a Boston company that plans and runs turnkey volunteer experiences for corporate teams, conferences, conventions, incentive programs and meetings of all sizes. It connects groups with local nonprofits doing critical work, then manages the whole program, from vetting nonprofit partners and designing the activity to handling logistics, materials, facilitation and attendee engagement. The model takes the operational burden off meeting planners while still producing a polished program with measurable results.

Programs range from hands-on volunteer activations inside a meeting venue to offsite community service and large-scale events that mobilize hundreds of employees. Companies also use the firm to organize Weeks of Service that unite offices, regions and hybrid teams. Each experience is customized to client and destination goals, such as boosting engagement, strengthening employee connection, supporting CSR and ESG initiatives, or leaving a lasting community legacy. Focus areas include environmental conservation and homelessness, poverty and housing instability.
