Corporate Giving: Best of the Basics

It’s a good idea to research to whom and how much that prospect has given in the past. Find out what partnerships the company has and think about ways your organization might augment these areas.

Also, try to come up with ways for the prospect company to meet new goals. Some to think about might be client-entertainment opportunities, networking opportunities, positive PR, marketing exposure, and opportunities for its employees to feel good about and benefit from the partnership.
