• SOCAP (Social Capital Markets): SOCAP convenes impact investors, foundations, and social entrepreneurs through an annual flagship conference and curated convenings focused on mobilizing capital for social good.

• Aspen Institute: The Aspen Institute operates a membership-style community of senior leaders across sectors, runs signature events, seminars, and policy convenings, and convenes fellows programs focused on social impact.

• Vistage Worldwide: Vistage runs paid peer advisory groups and executive coaching programs for CEOs and business leaders. As a broader incumbent, it shares NationSwell's core model of monetizing curated peer groups and events, though it is oriented to general executives rather than the impact sector.
