The common denominator of Corporate Foundations is that we have been founded and are mainly funded by a corporation. What differentiates us from other non-profit organisations, amongst other things, is having access to various resources through our funding company. How do we activate and exploit these resources in an optimal way, benefitting the employees, the company, our partners and society at large? What is the added value we can offer to our partners and society by engaging employees and tapping into the network of our corporate backer? What are best practice examples and key lessons at corporate foundations? Get ready to discuss these and many other questions, exchange experiences and grow your network at the next Corporate Foundations working group event!
