Corporate Philanthropy
(preregistration required)

Moderator:

Betsy Zeidman, Director, Center for Emerging Domestic Markets, Research Fellow, Milken Institute

Corporate foundations face a variety of questions as they formulate their giving strategies: How can they make the most impact with their donations? How can they even measure that impact? Should their giving strategies align with their corporate strategies? What is the role or opportunity for a corporate foundation in driving social change? What role should employees and other stakeholders play in corporate philanthropy? How do they balance their responsibility during disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or the Asian tsunami with the expectations of those relying on their existing programs? What are the implications of new governance requirements affecting foundations? In many cases, the corporate foundations may have different concerns than their counterparts in the private or community foundation world. This private roundtable will enable key leaders in corporate philanthropy to discuss areas of interest, share best practices and identify potential collaborations.
