In Good Company

A Guide To Corporate Fundraising

In Good Company was written to help you learn more about different areas of US domestic company philanthropy, from direct company giving and matching gifts, all the way to sponsorships and corporate social responsibility. While this is not a definitive guide on these topics, it’s meant to help you learn new ways to think about your organization in relation to companies and raise much needed funds.

Each section also provides information on how research helps fundraisers find and deepen those connections, regardless of the type of corporate giving.
