Pine will talk corporate philanthropy at CMF Conference
Date Published: October 4, 2011
Leslie Pine will present back-to-back workshops on October 10th at the Council of Michigan Foundations’ (CMF) 39th Annual Conference, Reinventing Michigan, Vision, Opportunity, Action.
The first workshop, How Do We Measure the Impact of Corporate Philanthropy in Our Communities, will explore how to assess whether funders are leveraging their dollars to the fullest extent and if grantees are achieving their intended goals. The session will help funders determine how best to measure the impact of corporate giving on the communities they support and to figure out whether they are truly impacting the sustainability of their grantees and communities or just providing a “quick fix.”
The second workshop, What is Your ROI for Corporate Philanthropy? will look at how companies can demonstrate the value of corporate philanthropy. Previously seen as an “expense” rather than “revenue generating,” companies have discovered that partnerships between private enterprise and public interest can produce profitable outcomes. Corporate giving is the new philanthropy and should be seen as a strategic business investment, which ties donations of time, money, and in-kind gifts to defined business goals and desired returns.
