Business-Nonprofit Leadership Summit
The Business-Nonprofit Leadership Summit is an exclusive and free event for Institute Members and Nonprofit Affiliate Members focused on achieving successful corporate-nonprofit partnerships.
Each Summit includes the Satell Institute hallmark—moderated peer executive round tables, with a mix of for-profit, CSR and nonprofit leaders at each. Participants discuss and question the benefits and challenges of their partnerships, as well as strategies of how to gain additional partnerships of value. The “take home value” from the candor of the comments and the great experience of the participating executives makes for a memorable time and a valuable experience.

Million Dollar Match
The impact of this grand and proactive initiative is described best by our proud nonprofit affiliates who expressed their overwhelming gratitude using the words inspiration, goodness, energy, generosity, opportunity and partnership and is epitomized by these messages of appreciation from a few of our nonprofit affiliate leaders:
Leadership for Recovery: Nonprofit Perspective - Summer 2020
So many Members were inspired to choose to contribute considerably more than their match to the Nonprofit Affiliate of their choice! Almost $3,000,000 in funds went to more than 70 Nonprofit Affiliates!
This is Corporate Social Responsibility in action!
This is thinking WE, not just me on a grand scale!
Thank YOU for your generosity.

CEOs on CSR
Kevin Duffy
President
Tozour Energy Systems
“As a corporate affiliate of the Satell Institute, we are with a high-powered group of executives who are world leaders in Corporate Social Responsibility. As a collective force, we are taking the lead and setting an example of the value of long-term commitments to causes that make communities better for business and for those who live there.”
Doug Tieman
President & CEO
Caron Foundation
“The Satell Institute from its inception has been unique in that it is cause agnostic, requires no financial commitment to the Institute, but rather directly to nonprofits. It has brought together outstanding leaders from the corporate and philanthropic world for collaboration, has fostered intellectual thought and research, while at the same time, encouraging thoughtful and meaningful philanthropic commitments from companies to directly impact charitable missions of our community’s nonprofits.”
Sir Oliver St. Clare Franklin OBE
Founder
Franklin Group
“I see several key success factors – first, the organization’s CEO focus. Second, its unique affiliations, for the conduct of groundbreaking research in CSR. Third, its goal of creating a CSR certification for companies wanting to follow best practices in this crucial area and be known for it. Fourth, most of all, the Institute’s passionate mission to support the CSR movement within the American free enterprise system.”
John Francis Smith III
Partner, Reed Smith
Founding CEO
Global Philadelphia Association
“I was glad to be part of an organization that saw itself not as a supplicant, but as an enabler. For me, it’s been a nice opportunity – even a pleasure – to be part of an organization that is acting in a critical, catalyzing role to inspire others to give. When I tell people about the Satell Institute and that it’s not going to cost them a dime except for a commitment to do some very heavy giving to other organizations, they are quite surprised and pleased.”
Paul Silberberg
CEO
Concierge Insurance Solutions
“What impressed me was the authenticity of the Satell Institute. I believe in the Satell Institute's honesty, transparency, integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness. I've known Ed for 30 years, and know he's the real deal. Ed says, 'Follow me,' and before you know it, me and 30 other CEOs are doing just that. I'm amazed at the quality of the people around the table. They are doers as opposed to talkers. I'm very glad I am part of this collective force.”
John Weidenhammer

“I do think the Satell Institute has come up with a revolutionary aspect of CSR. Companies are beginning to realize they can track the positive results of CSR in areas such as recruitment, marketing and customer retention. Employees like to know their company does more than give lip service to help the communities where they live and work. Customers also recognize companies that help to improve their communities. So, there is an ROI in CSR that goes beyond good feelings about philanthropy.”
Tom Caramanico
President
McCormick Taylor, Inc.
“When it comes to the Satell Institute I just tell them, listen – you’d better get involved with this thing for two reasons:
- These members are already making a difference and it’s a great place to hear about how they’ve done it. It’s a place where people understand that to get anything done in the community, you need the money and insight from the private sector.
- It enhances anyone’s image to be associated with these companies, and there is certainly a halo effect from being a part of the Satell Institute.”

Brian Effron
CEO
Healthcare Administrative Partners
“I’ve known about the Satell Institute since it was first conceived, and have witnessed its roster of impressive members grow and evolve. We were drawn to the Satell Institute because of their stellar reputation, but also because they are fully endowed, which is important. A lot of nonprofits can get bogged down with the (very necessary, but time-consuming) work of constant fundraising. Being fully-endowed allows us to free up time to focus on the issues.”
Josh Gross
CEO
Mill Creek Capital Advisors
“As a Corporate Affiliate of the Satell Institute, I am associated with some of the people who are world-class at CSR. I look around the room at these incredible people as mentors and ask ‘What did they do’ and ‘What are they doing’? Each has a different story. I ask myself ‘What is the common thread?’ That’s when I discovered more truths about CSR, which enables us to set our compass true north and continue our growth.”
Barry Kahan
Founder
The Kahan Family Fund
“I am thrilled and honored to be part of this prestigious Board of successful individuals who are acting to make a difference. The vision of the Satell Institute is a simple one, we all have a responsibility to each other and to support each other’s success, as we are all one community. Whether you are a for-profit, nonprofit, academic or cultural institution, or an individual – in the end, no one can win at the expense of the others in the community, as we all win or lose together.”
Bernard Dagenais
President & CEO
The Main Line Chamber of Commerce
“It is truly remarkable to have seen the progress the Satell Institute has made since our first dinner meeting five years ago at the Wayne Hotel on February 8th, 2016. The year 2020 was a time when organizations either shrunk from or rose to meet the challenge. Under your outstanding leadership, the Satell Institute further solidified its reputation as a leader in CSR that not only made a huge positive difference but also inspired others to step up.”
Craig Adams
Former CEO
PECO
“Nonprofits have a sense of relief when they know they will have the resources that they will need to accomplish their mission. It enables them to plan ahead and use their time most effectively. This is one of the factors that attracted us to the Satell Institute in the first place. As a corporate affiliate of the Satell Institute, we are benefitting from best practices and learning from other organizations that are taking Corporate Social Responsibility to the next level.”
Bob Beard
President & CEO
UGI Utilities
“I was fascinated by the quality of the Institute’s members. They represented many of the leading companies and nonprofits in the central Pennsylvania area. The energy and enthusiasm I felt at that first meeting was contagious. To sit and listen to other executives discuss CSR and to interact with leaders of nonprofits is invaluable. It is refreshing to join an organization dedicated primarily to helping others.”
