Name:Red Wing Area Business Gives--Strategies for Smart Giving Seminar
Date:July 13, 2010
Time:9:00 AM - 11:00 AM CDT
Event Description:
This workshop helps businesses better understand why and how they give and how they can be more strategic about what they give and to whom – in other words, when to say “yes” and how to say “no” to the many requests for assistance from nonprofit and community groups.
In today’s economic climate, having a thoughtful plan for your company’s community giving is even more important. Your business might have fewer resources to contribute, while at the same time the requests for help are growing. You are committed to making your community a healthy and strong place for your employees and your neighbors, but know you can’t respond to each and every request.
The goals for this workshop are to give you:
the framework for a giving plan that will help you be more strategic about your giving
tools to help implement that plan, and
an opportunity to share experiences and best practices with your business colleagues.
At the workshop, you’ll receive a copy of the Minnesota Business Giving and Community Involvement Workbook. Using forms from the Workbook, you will leave with the outline of a giving plan, including goals and criteria for giving, contributions policies and procedures, and suggestions for an effective decision-making process.
