"Selling" Business Leaders on Your Nonprofit: Beyond Event Sponsorship

Many nonprofits only talk to their local business leaders when it is time to ask for event sponsorships. While this is a great way to tap into the corporate marketing budgets, there is much more to be gained by building a relationship with the business community that can help your organization tap into corporate philanthropy, the personal wealth of business owners and leaders, and corporate volunteers. This session will take you beyond the ususal event-driven fundraising and show you how developing relationships with your community's business leaders can reap huge rewards for your nonprofit.  Read more
