Briana Inlow shared thisLooking forward to joining fellow #SocialImpact leaders at Engage for Good 2026 in Palm Springs next week! 🌴 Join me and Allison Bergen for a hands-on workshop where we’ll be ideating on the five key areas of opportunity for the future of volunteering: ✅ Culture & Connection ✅ Attraction & Retention ✅ Learning & Development ✅ Social Impact ✅ Business Innovation & Creativity The goal? To leave Palm Springs with more than just inspiration—but with actionable takeaways to bring back to your teams. See you in the desert! 🤝#EFG2026 #PurposeAtWorkBriana Inlow shared thisHow can we have a volunteering boom and a volunteering crisis simultaneously? Corporate interest in volunteering is surging, yet this enthusiasm isn't always translating into the strategic support nonprofits need.

Briana Inlow shared thisProud to have seen Benevity evolve over the last 7+ years. Such a meaningful accolade to be seen as one of the most innovative companies. I feel it in our culture! A dynamic environment that encourages innovation from each of us. #FCMostInnovative #WeAreWe #PurposeAtWorkBriana Inlow shared thisIn a world marked by rapid technological change, businesses must adapt to survive—and innovate to thrive.

Briana Inlow reposted thisBriana Inlow reposted thisIt's always a surprise to me when I hear people say, "Benevity does grants?" Yes! We've been in the corporate grants management space for over 10 years having managed more than $22 billion in grants alone. And... our grantmaking volume grew by 14% in 2025. 🚀 This week, Benevity announced some super cool grants-focused AI innovations for our clients and the nonprofits in our network: 👀 A new grant application management feature in the Benevity Causes Portal for nonprofits--this update closes the "visibility gap" for nonprofits by providing a single source of truth to see applications submitted via Benevity Grants Management. 📃 New AI-powered Grant Summaries incorporate generative AI to provide a structured overview of an application’s purpose, funding needs, and intended impact. This is not to replace decision-making, just to assist it! Research from Benevity Impact Labs shows that while 74% of organizations report using grantmaking best practices, only 51% believe they’re truly effective in applying them (see link to full report in comments). This gap got us putting pedal to the metal on developing solutions that streamline administration on both sides of the grant relationship to close this confidence gap. And, guess what? 30% of our grantmaking clients started using the AI-powered feature within a week of its release. Congrats to the teams helping to bring these ideas to life - keep it up, we still have a long ways to go to make grants management so much better for all! https://lnkd.in/gUCgAtjP #PurposeAtWork #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CSR #NonprofitsBenevity AI and Management Features for Global GrantmakingBenevity AI and Management Features for Global Grantmaking

Briana Inlow shared thisMy dear friend Harriet Miller sharing her experience and wisdom with other high performing moms - and those who work with them - in the law profession. Worth a listen if you're in any high-intensity field and balancing work and parenting.Briana Inlow shared thisIn the latest episode of If You Ask Me, we’re joined by Harriet Miller, investment management partner at Macfarlanes. In this conversation, Harriet reflects on what each of her maternity leaves taught her and how those experiences ultimately made her a better lawyer. For anyone navigating maternity leave, partnership, or the balance between life as a lawyer and life as a parent, Harriet’s story is thoughtful, honest and reassuring.

Briana Inlow reacted on thisBriana Inlow reacted on thisGrateful doesn't quite capture it, but I'll start there ✨ Yesterday I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Michal Alter, CEO of Visit.org, for a podcast conversation I'll be thinking about for a long time. Michal asked the kinds of questions that push you to articulate what you actually believe, and I'm excited to see the final product. A few of the ideas that we talked about: Everyone has something to offer. I hear it constantly — "I'm in tech sales, I don't have the right experience to volunteer." But your core skills translate directly to what nonprofits need, and they need that expertise now more than ever. It's time to flip the power dynamic. Right now, CSR teams need to scramble when the finance team calls wanting an event next month. What if we could build the relationship with the nonprofit first, understood what they actually need, and then brought in the right people to help? The future of volunteering is a Human + AI story. AI can generate almost anything instantly, but those outputs can look polished and still lack real-world context. That's where people come in — human judgment is what turns AI from a tool into real impact. And for the first time, nonprofits have a chance to access technology and expertise at a scale they never could before. I also shared a story that's stayed with me for years: a nonprofit at a conference told the room they'd had the same fence painted three separate times because three different corporate groups wanted a volunteering activity. Everyone meant well. But if we're not starting with what communities actually need, we're not creating value, we're creating noise. Thank you, Michal, for the thoughtful questions and for the space to reflect. And thank you to the Visit.org team for the work you're doing to raise the bar for our entire field.

Briana Inlow reacted on thisBriana Inlow reacted on thisStill smiling at the Engage for Good conference! Our workshop, “Designing Moments That Matter,” was full before the day even started and waking up to that was such an energizing way to kick things off. Thank you to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and built alongside us. Grateful to share the stage with Gold Star Gamers founder Martha Laughman and even more grateful for a room full of people committed to doing things differently. Let’s keep designing moments that matter. SN: This is majority of the group that stayed a little longer for the picture. #EngageForGood #CorporateImpact #CSR #EmployeeEngagement #USAAServes #GoldStarGamers #EFG2026

Briana Inlow reacted on thisBenevity Impact Labs recently released the State of Corporate Volunteering report which revealed startling trends and opportunities in employee volunteerism (see comments). It created quite a bit of industry debate, which has been fascinating and productive, IMHO. My brilliant Benevity-ite colleagues, Allison Bergen and Briana Inlow, will be diving into the data and insights from this report at Engage for Good on Thursday afternoon. This workshop will help practitioners find new ways to deliver more impactful corporate volunteering programs -- for nonprofits, companies and employees alike.

Briana Inlow liked thisBriana Inlow liked thisI joined @Okta this month to lead our Global Impact work. What I've learned so far is that AI is moving faster than our ability to protect society. That urgency is exactly why I'm here. I've seen firsthand how Okta's security commitment extends far beyond our products, and deep into the communities where we live and work. But, as AI reshapes our world, this commitment isn't just corporate responsibility—it's an urgent necessity. I'm proud to share that we released our 2026 Okta for Good Impact Report today. The numbers tell the story. $10.3M in cash and $54M in donated technology, with 91% employee participation. That's what commitment looks like in action. We're doubling down—mobilizing our full organizational capacity - products, people, philanthropy, and expertise - to build a more secure world where everyone can belong and thrive. I'm honored to lead this team. Take a look at the full report to see where we are heading next. https://lnkd.in/gbdjtZkJ #OktaForGood

Every Wednesday for three years I met with a young girl at The Baytree Centre, to do homework, play games, and chat. Working with her for three years I really got to see her grow emotionally and academically - though I know in the end I learned more from her optimism and spirit than I taught her about English and Math!
