20/20 For Good with Idaho Partners for Good
TOPIC
Join us virtually for a 20/20 For Good presentation by Idaho Partners for Good. Local nonprofits provide vital services to our community, yet constant fundraising often forces them to focus more on chasing dollars than advancing their mission. In this presentation, Idaho Partners for Good will advocate on behalf of nonprofits and share what the business community can do to truly support them—so they can create greater, lasting impact.
This presentation invites local business owners to see Idaho through the lens of the ALICE data and the Neighbor-to-Neighbor (N2N) Playbook—where nonprofits, philanthropy, business, faith, and government operate as parts of one system of community support. Across Idaho, rising housing and childcare costs, provider shortages, and policy shifts are placing unprecedented pressure on working families while crisis-response systems are becoming overwhelmed. The safety net is still holding, but leaders in the field are forecasting clear signs that it is fraying as we move into 2026.
For purpose-driven companies, this creates both a risk and an opportunity. When parents lose access to childcare, they leave the workforce; when healthcare is hard to reach, emergency costs rise; when nonprofits disappear, businesses inherit instability in their circles of influence. The session demonstrates how B-Corporation values—stakeholder benefit, local investment, dignified work, and measurable ROI—naturally fit within the Our Idaho framework and how companies can multiply impact through:
strategic sponsorship of trusted nonprofits
stabilization for employees and ALICE families
investment in capacity building and shared data
pooled influence for housing and behavioral-health continuity.
In ten to twelve minutes, owners will gain a credible snapshot of Idaho’s pressures and be asked to help identify simple/practical ways to collaborate across sectors so their businesses—and Idaho families—can thrive together.

Do Good Social Hour
Lighten up your Wednesday morning by joining us for an informal gathering.
Do Good Social Hour: Medium talk is less What do you do? and more What’s lighting you up?
Join us for some medium talk at the Do Good Social Hour, an informal, public meet up for people who prefer “medium talk” to get to the point and do more good.
For problem-solvers, bridge-builders, innovators and value-based professionals ready to talk with people wildly outside their industry.
The biggest challenges we face won’t be solved by one sector alone. New perspectives spark new possibilities.
When artists talk to engineers, farmers to data nerds, and health care workers to real estate agents, weird and wonderful things happen.
This social hour is for breaking out of our boxes and being open to ideas that help inspire us to build something better.
Do Good Happy Hour
Let’s throw ourselves a pity party! For those that need to let it out before we can show up.

Do Good Conversation Series: Farm to Fable
For years, “farm to table” has symbolized a sustainable link between growers and consumers. But with climate change, corporate consolidation, labor shortages, and shrinking small farms, that story is starting to crack.
Do Good Conversation Series: From Junk to Gems
Ever wonder what really happens to your waste and donations once they leave your hands? Spoiler alert: it’s not always what you think.
Join us at Inspiration Alley in downtown Boise for a night of eye-opening conversations with local experts who know where the trash, treasures, and tech really end up—and how you can make sure you’re doing it right. From waste pros to thrift store distribution insiders, automotive waste haulers, and construction recycling wizards, we’re bringing together the people who deal with your "stuff" every day.
Get the truth about how to keep your donations helpful, your waste out of the landfill, and your old gadgets from becoming an environmental nightmare. It’s time to rethink your impact, ask the tough questions, and walk away with practical tips to do better.
Hosted by Idaho Smart Growth’ Crispin Gravatt, this thought-provoking conversation will give you actionable tips for smarter, more impactful ways to declutter your closet, reduce waste, and truly make a difference.
Let’s talk trash—literally—and start making smarter choices for a cleaner, good-er community.
