Con Edison, AXA Foundation, CIT, Hess, McGraw-Hill, & Morgan Stanley Will Discuss Nonprofit Funding

New York, NY, August 29, 2009 — “The Meet the Grantmakers events are a great way for nonprofits to hear directly from funders,” says Marie Smith, Con Edison’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, who will moderate the panel discussion. “Each year we find that the corporate representatives are remarkably frank and open to discussing the issues that really matter to audience members.”

“Our goal with every Grantmaker panel we produce is for panelists and participants to look beyond traditional theories or approaches to grantmaking,” says Don Crocker, Executive Director/CEO of the Support Center for Nonprofit Management. “We want nonprofits to better understand the grantmaking process and want to inspire funders to be innovative. We are thrilled that Marie Smith and Con Edison are hosting the event again this year and are looking forward to an invigorating panel discussion.”
