Corporations provide many forms of valuable support to nonprofits — including grants, sponsorships, employee-match and volunteer programs, and other kinds of partnerships. But corporate giving is complex, and it varies by industry, which makes it challenging to navigate.

Join this 75-minute webinar to learn directly from two corporate foundation executives how to work with companies to expand your reach and revenue. They’ll explain how — and why —businesses partner with nonprofits, what they look for in potential collaborations and grantees, and how to engage employees in ways that help your organization and deepen ties with companies.  

Plus, you’ll get tips for approaching program officers and pitching your cause, including sample language you can adapt to boost your chances of success.

You’ll learn:
•    How to create a case for support that appeals to corporate foundations
•    Must-haves for compelling grant proposals 
•    How to get your foot in the door and build lasting ties
