WHAT DO CORPORATE DONORS WANT?
“Keep in mind that men and women don’t want to give money away.
They want to invest in great causes, in bold and exciting dreams. They want to feel they’re helping change
lives and save lives.
It’s your job to help them understand their money can make that happen.
- Jerold Panas
CHALLENGES
CASA has broad and compelling appeal Topic not “easy” to talk about Not the same clients Many companies serve broader area than
local program boundaries
TWO POTS OF MONEY
Philanthropic vs. Marketing Dollars Tax-Deductible Donation – restricted or
unrestricted Advertising Funds – generally unrestricted Combination of both Invoices
SIZE DOES MATTERLarge Mid-Size Small
Marketing and Philanthropic (CSR)
Mix of Marketing &/or Philanthropic
Primarily Marketing
$$$ $$-$$$ $-$$Clear, defined giving priorities
Broader priorities, if defined
Rarely focused on specific causes
Large, well-known causes (headquarters)
Regional, small nonprofits ok in business areas
Local community, small nonprofits
Corporate Giving Department &/or Foundation
Corporate Giving Person &/or Area President
Business Owner or Top Management
POPULAR WAYS TO GIVE
UNRESTRICTED DONATION
Small to mid-sized companies Repeatable, annual support Treat as individual donor(s) + recognition
Face-to-face ask PROS – everything! CONS – none
PROGRAMMATIC GRANT
Larger companies with specific corporate-giving department or corporate foundation
Formalized “ask” process Set project, budget (restricted), reporting Treat as any other foundation funding PROS – typically open, public info CONS – time commitment
EVENT SPONSORSHIP
Exchange of money for specific recognition Typically marketing/advertising Think name recognition – who wants it?
● Medical, Insurance, Financial, Services
PROS – good entry point, unrestricted $ CONS – high cost and time involved
IN-KIND SUPPORT
20-30% of all corporate support Documented discount on services or
products Donated/discounted goods or services Wish List of Items Fair-market value PROS – decrease org/event expenses CONS – not revenue
MATCHING PROGRAMS
Encourages employees to donate to their favorite causes by matching their contributions● 65% Fortune 500 offer matching gift programs
Some provide cash donations based on hours their employees volunteer● 40% offer volunteer grants, average $8-$15/hour
PROS – “free money” CONS – reactive, hard to keep track of programs
