Corporate Giving: or, How do we get your money?

While corporations and corporate foundations DO broadcast their community focus, it can be difficult for Non-Profits to know where they fit in the corporate giving wheelhouse. How can we as non-profits be more aware of what impact corporations want to make in our communities, and how can we approach corporations programmatically to bridge our organizations' missions with your community outreach priorities. In short, how do we get your money? Panelists: Zedrick Applin & Manuel Lloyd, nCino Zedrick Applin is Head of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Community Involvement at nCino, having served as the inaugural person in this newly-created role.  Zedrick has [...]

Getting The Meeting

American Red Cross 1102 S. 16th Street, Wilmington, NC, United States

Getting your donors and prospects to agree to a visit is the first "Yes" fundraisers hear in the process toward getting a gift. Unfortunately, it can also be the hardest "Yes" to get, sometimes even harder than getting the gift itself! From hearing "I just don't have time...," meeting gatekeeper after gatekeeper, a seeming lack of interest or just never hearing back, there is no shortage of ways donors and prospects say "No" to a visit. Join us April 5th with Dileep Dadlani and David Howell, Regional Philanthropy Officers for the American Red Cross, to discuss how to break through these complex and [...]
