Corporate support for philanthropic activities has been increasing over the last decade.
But corporations all give in different ways. Some have corporate foundations while others provide sponsorships, matching funds, or volunteer time.
This diversity makes it difficult to determine the best way to strategically position yourself to be competitive for corporate support.
During this TargetED, Alice Ruhnke will share strategies you can use to add corporate donations to your organization’s funding portfolio.
You’ll learn:
- the different models of corporate giving;
- how each model could benefit your organization; and,
- the best ways to pre-position your organization to be successful when asking for and obtaining support.
You’ll walk away with an understanding of the driving forces behind corporate giving strategies so you can develop approaches to attract support from diverse businesses.
TargetEDs are designed with beginners in mind. This session contains 30 minutes of practical teaching and 15 minutes of Q&A with Alice. It is perfect for any member of a nonprofit organization which has yet to explore corporate support.
