The Corporate Giving Network is an educational, professional development and networking group for nonprofits that seek to increase funding and support from the business community.
We help business professionals and executives find seats on nonprofit boards.
Corporate Giving is a type of fundraising where the donation comes from a business, not an individual. It is different from other areas such as annual giving or grant writing in that the skill set needed to be successful requires an ability to engage in a conversation with a business person on the subject of alignment of business objectives for a mutual gain. The business benefits through improved brand reputation at minimum while the nonprofit gains support in the area of employee volunteering and funds.
Joy Stephens, Founder and CEO of o 2 joy, a consulting firm for not-for-profit organizations, created Corporate Giving Network when she realized the need for a space where those engaged in corporate giving could go for peer networking, education and skills training.
Joy Stephens, president of the Corporate Giving Network, wrote an article for the Puget Sound Business Journal’s much anticipated Corporate Citizenship Special Report with the article, Thrive By Building The Best Board.
