The secret to a powerful corporate giving program

From event sponsorships to in-kind donations, Your fundraising program needs corporate giving.

Of course, it's not as simple as sending a solicitation letter to every business within a few square miles of your office.

Corporate giving - like every channel for sustainable giving - requires some strategy and thought.

So, how can you make your corporate giving program stand out?

Start with volunteers.

Corporate giving and volunteering are like two peas in a pod. Some corporations require volunteer opportunities as a condition of giving. Others see it a way to show their customers and employees their commitment to the community.

Corporate volunteers can bring skills-based support to your mission. They can serve on committees or boards. They can support events, programs, and office operations.

Curating opportunities for corporate volunteers doesn't have to be a guessing game - sit down with your corporate contacts and create something together. Together, you can create an opportunity that will help the corporation meet their philanthropic goals while supporting your mission and community.
