From Asking to Offering: Shifting Your Nonprofit's Approach to Corporate Volunteer Engagement

Businesses engage in volunteerism for a multitude of reasons – whether their goals are employee retention, improved engagement, or creating a positive company culture, corporations are actively seeking out volunteer opportunities. While many nonprofits might initially approach corporate volunteer partnerships as something to “ask” for – what if the approach was flipped? 

Opportunities to volunteer are a value-add for businesses. At the same time, it’s key that corporate volunteer opportunities serve communities and deliver on real impact. Nonprofits that offer corporate volunteer experiences with clear goals and measurable impact and are better positioned to foster deep engagement and strong, successful partnerships. 

In this session we’ll discuss: 

• How understanding corporate motivations and goals can reframe the conversation around corporate volunteerism
• Things to consider when designing impactful, sustainable corporate volunteer offerings
• Tips for building meaningful and mutually beneficial corporate volunteer partnerships that go beyond a single day

Join us to learn how this shift can lead to more impactful corporate partnerships and enhanced volunteer engagement!
