May 17, 2007
9am to 4pm
Kaiser Permanente Headquarters
One Kaiser Plaza
Oakland, CA |
Corporate philanthropy is coming out of its silo. Companies across the spectrum are finding ways to embed their philanthropic efforts into core business strategy, in ways that maximize benefits for both. Whether integrating philanthropy into their core business models, or utilizing corporate competencies and assets in innovative ways in service of community objectives, companies are discovering ways to weave business and philanthropy strategy together, ultimately generating increased business and social value. This approach is becoming known as “integrated philanthropy.”
NCG’s Corporate Philanthropy Institute promises to deliver a dynamic day of learning, featuring world-class thinkers and practitioners who are shaping the future of integrated philanthropy. Sessions will examine and expand on the concept of integrated philanthropy, both as a value proposition and as a practical means through which to advance philanthropic and business goals.
Come join us to
- Gain motivation, insight, and practical advice from thought leaders and practitioners who are shaping the future of integrated philanthropy
- Learn about success stories and best practices from companies who are pursuing models of integrated philanthropy
- Engage in discussions with companies in the midst of active integration efforts
- Hear about a broad range of ways companies are using their assets/ core competencies to improve communities, including how they measure success
- Discuss ways to build buy-in and implement the Institute’s learnings in your own company
- Network with peers from companies throughout the Bay Area and beyond
- Take home an Integrated Philanthropy Resource Guide, including a framework for understanding the business case for integrated philanthropy, case studies of effective integrated philanthropy models and approaches, and a bibliography of additional resources for further guidance (studies, organizations, professional contacts)
