What are the skills and competencies required to be successful in corporate philanthropy today? Philanthropy no longer exists in a silo, but is a critical part of a corporation’s citizenship. Corporate philanthropy has become more deeply embedded in the overall operations of a company, integrating and intersecting with business functions such as marketing and CSR.
As the roles and responsibilities of the professionals spearheading philanthropy are evolving and will continue to evolve, the traditional view of a grantmaker is being dispelled to embrace a wider set of competencies and skills required to be successful in the corporate philanthropy profession.
In this session, we’ll examine the evolution of the field, drivers of change and case examples of prominent leaders.
Explore
- The skills and competencies that are most beneficial to success in corporate philanthropy today
- How to think strategically about your role’s influence and assistance in achieving maximum business and social impact
- The critical business function philanthropy plays in corporations
