Panel discussion and dialogue with Corporate Grantmakers
 


As the grant seeking process becomes more and more competitive, it is  essential to understand what corporate grantmakers are actually looking for when they decide whether or not to fund a nonprofit organization. This session offers an unusual opportunity to hear directly from a variety of corporate foundation and corporate giving funders. Grantmakers will participate in a panel discussion. Issues we will explore with the panelists include:
  • Corporate partnerships: why are corporations looking to partner with nonprofits?
  • Getting your foot in the door: how to start a relationship with a corporation when you don't have a relationship 
  • Building an ongoing relationship with a corporation: how to keep the dollars flowing beyond the first check
Whether you have been securing grants for decades or are just starting out, the panel discussion will provide you with a valuable view of the grantmaking world from the point of view of the grantmaker.
