Corporates and local businesses have been a potential source of funding for NGOs. In United States, they have contributed around $16 billion as grants for philanthropic work around the world. There is also much more in terms of gifts in kind, corporate sponsorships, and through the personal donations of individual corporate leaders. In such a situation, how can NGOs benefit and seek grants from these corporates and local business community.
The webinar on ‘Raising More Money from Your Local Business Community‘ to be held on September 10, 2012 from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM GMT provides information about the challenges existing for corporations today in providing continued grant support to NGOs and how NGOs can develop win-win situations to encourage corporate philanthropy. The webinar is based on the research carried out for a new book. It will specifically discuss how to approach corporate leaders, how to motivate them to become involved in your organization, and how to develop a corporate appeal.
