This September, as the world gathers in New York for the UN General Assembly and Climate Week, join Causeway and COPx for an afternoon of truth-telling, leadership, action, and connection.
We’ll celebrate women on the front lines of global change and launch Causeway—a new participatory platform that empowers people and institutions to direct capital toward deep, measurable, lasting impact.

Reimagining Impact: Capital, Climate, and Community
Doug Heske, CEO of Newday Financial Technologies, Hunter Lovins, Co-CEO of COPx Global, and Tonia Lovejoy, Executive Director-Friends of the Virgin Island's National Park & Blue Community Consortium, will open the evening with a candid, forward-looking dialogue on how financial systems, climate leadership, and grassroots movements must converge to meet this moment. Their conversation will set the tone for a powerful evening of insight and action.

Why Now?
Nonprofit and grassroots leaders are under unprecedented pressure—shrinking funding, growing skepticism, political scrutiny—while broken systems slow real change. Causeway is designed for this moment: radical transparency, shared leadership, and accountable capital, bridging the gap between finance and frontline change.
Together, we will:
✅ Confront systemic barriers
✅ Share real-world success stories
✅ Launch Causeway as a tool for action
✅ Build momentum for a new era of participatory impact investing
🎟 RSVP now to celebrate extraordinary women, hear the truth about what’s working (and what isn’t), and help activate bold new tools for global impact.
