Corporate Giving: or, How do we get your money?
2022-02-02 08:00 - 09:30 | NC
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?
