Who Can Attend
The CPI is open to NCG members, member clients of SVCF and non-affiliated corporate funders and CSR professionals.
Program Desciption
In an effort to align business with purpose, it’s clear that the private sector needs to carefully navigate the spaces between marketing and social benefit and public good and corporate benefit. To err on the wrong side of the equation is to tempt public scrutiny and mistrust. But doing it thoughtfully (and successfully) can garner goodwill, loyalty and most importantly—make a difference in the world.
Companies’ community engagement efforts must be truly reflective of community interests and needs, but be balanced with business interests—not subjugated to them. It is important for companies to express the good they are trying to achieve in the world clearly, simply, and thoughtfully to their employees, customers, consumers, and communities. Those companies that are creating change for their communities while maintaining this delicate equilibrium are poised to lead the way for the private sector by taking the idea of “doing well by doing good” to the next level.
The 2015 Corporate Philanthropy Institute presented by Northern California Grantmakers (NCG) and Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), will explore how companies are going about breathing authenticity and value into corporate engagement efforts. How new models are being created that are responsive to community needs. How partnership and collaboration adds value. How the simplicity of programming can be a tool for success. And how, in our “post-recession world”, we ensure that we are living our principles.
This year’s CPI will prepare professionals working in corporate citizenship and philanthropy to meet the challenges presented by this evolving dialogue on authenticity, purpose, values, and their intersection with business goals and interests. We’ll explore the big ideas presented by this conversation and then break it down into usable strategies, approaches, and actionable plans
