Program Description

A paradigm shift is occurring. Philanthropy, citizenship and community engagement are no longer seen as optional for successful companies or executives. Investors, consumers and employees, especially millennials, now expect all companies and their leaders—regardless of their size or age—to have societal impact and to apply their business acumen when doing so. At the same time, philanthropy practitioners are facing increased pressure to develop unique, innovative strategies, expand to global markets and demonstrate real-time results.

This year's Corporate Philanthropy Institute (CPI) is presented by Northern California Grantmakers and Silicon Valley Community Foundation. The 2014 CPI will prepare CSR and corporate philanthropy practitioners to meet these changing expectations as well as anticipate future demands. The agenda is designed for professionals that are looking for forward-thinking ideas to help them create meaningful impact in the world—now and in the future. The full-day conference will examine changing expectations of corporate citizenship, strategic local and global philanthropic programs, addressing business challenges through social responsibility efforts, creating corporate collaboratives, and assessing the impact of community investments.
