Three days. Two formats. One focus: growing corporate revenue.
March 9: Connect in person with corporate funders in five cities
March 10–11: Learn, network & build your corporate fundraising skills virtually
Meet the people behind the giving. Connect with corporate funders and nonprofit professionals from across the country who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of corporate fundraising. Share ideas, compare experiences, exchange resources, and build relationships that continue long after the conference ends.
This isn’t a conference where you simply sit and listen. It’s designed to be practical, interactive, and actionable. Learn from experienced corporate funders and subject matter experts, ask questions, and walk away with ideas you can put into practice when you return to your desk.
Whether you’re trying to understand a corporate funder’s priorities, develop a stronger pitch, build a sponsorship, or move a relationship forward, you’ll gain tools you can use right away.
Corporate giving is more than asking a company for a grant. It’s understanding why companies give, how they decide where to invest, what they need from nonprofit partners, and how their business priorities influence those decisions.
Come learn the business behind the giving—and leave better prepared to make corporate giving part of your organization’s overall fundraising ecosystem.
Earn 10.5 CFRE continuing education points while strengthening one of the most important skills in fundraising: understanding how businesses make decisions about community investment.
The more you understand the corporate giving ecosystem, the more confidently you can approach corporate funders—and the better positioned you are to build deeper, more strategic, and more sustainable relationships.
You’ll also gain a broader understanding of the many ways companies support nonprofits, including corporate grants, sponsorships, cause marketing, employee giving and matching gifts, volunteerism, and other forms of corporate-community investment.
