Last week, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services attended the 2025 Social Innovation Summit in San Francisco.  

This annual convening brings together the world’s most dynamic leaders, investors, policy advocates and educators from non-profits, think tanks, large firms, corporations and government to share what’s possible in social impact.
 
It also provided Dixon Center with several opportunities:

• Engagement and relationship building with current partners.
• Exposure to global brands, iconic industry leaders, and leaders of large corporate foundations showcasing their investment priorities and impact.
• Networking to create business development and growth opportunities with donors and potential partner prospects.
• Bringing the voice of the veteran into the conversation.
• Learning of the latest innovations in education and AI to share with our colleagues.

The successful social impact programs highlighted during the conference all included partnerships, collaboration, evaluation and diversified funding. This is the same approach that has enabled Dixon Center’s to impact more than 3.6 million individuals and organizations since 2012.
