Nonprofits are facing dwindling corporate contributions and corporate foundation support because of the recession. This panel will focus on trends in corporate funding, what types of partnerships corporate funders are looking for from nonprofit organizations in this challenging funding environment, and how nonprofits can best position themselves for corporate funding now and in the future. Corporate funding representatives will offer tips to nonprofit fundraisers and management on how to access what corporate funding remains, and how to strengthen relationships with corporate funders once funding is received.
