How can your organization take advantage of the growing support for corporate social responsibility and the trend towards deeper involvement?

Leading  funders will discuss their unique programs for corporate involvement, strategic approach to grantmaking, the types of capacity building support they provide, how to establish and maintain a relationship with a funder (even if you’re not asking for money), and the best practices and common mistakes of submitting grant proposals.
