EDMONDS, Wash., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- X4Impact, the market intelligence platform for social innovation, announces its collaboration with Concordia as a Global Patron Member, providing data & insights to encourage leaders from the private and public sectors to connect in support of social progress. Concordia is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to actively fostering, elevating, and sustaining cross-sector partnerships for social impact.

X4Impact was selected a key data provider for the Concordia Lexington Summit, on April 7-8, 2022, where co-founders Shelly Kurtz and Luis Salazar will launch a State-by-State Index of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the US on Thursday, April 7 at 10:20am ET during a special live session.

Each state is ranked from 1-50 based on leading indicators for each Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and the prevalence of related NGOs in each state. This first of its kind dataset is available at x4i.org/sdg.

X4Impact data will be used as a companion during the conference, sparking dialogue on the state of the union in the progress of key social and environmental indicators and related nonprofit organizations based in each state.

"It is hard to track progress or inform strategies without data and insights. Our interactive tool provides a state-by-state breakdown of the UN SDGs" said Luis Salazar, Co-Founder, X4Impact. "It is our hope that government and nonprofit leaders will use our data along with their counterparts in the private sector to come together to effectively deploy resources to achieve clear goals."

The 2022 Concordia Lexington Summit convenes a variety of voices across the political spectrum and across sectors to advance civil discourse and understanding between the different socioeconomic worlds present in the U.S. The 2 day conference features cross-cutting issues presented through the lens of the UN SDGs:

• The Journey to Net Zero

• Building Businesses of Purpose
• Strong Community, Safe Roads
• Agriculture Technology & Food Security
• Fixing America's Black Maternal Health Crisis
