GSOF Gives Back: Non-Profit Round Robin

One of the highlights of the corridor is the GSOF Gives Back Non-Profit Round Robin, where selected organizations share their missions in a series of rapid-fire presentations.

Each participating nonprofit delivers a three-minute pitch to the audience, highlighting the work they do to support the SOF community.
Attendees then play a direct role in the outcome — voting live to determine which organizations receive GSOF Gives Back donations.

This interactive session gives attendees the chance to:

  • Hear powerful stories from organizations serving the SOF community
  • Discover impactful programs and initiatives
  • Participate directly in supporting the organizations making a difference

Past Contributions:

  • 2024 Donations: $15,000
  • 2025 Donations: $25,000

Voting takes place in person at SOF Week, so attendees are encouraged to attend the session and help decide the recipients.
Session details will be announced in the SOF Week agenda and mobile app.
