Engagement: From Strategy to Success
Driving Employee Engagement Through Corporate-Nonprofit Partnerships
“Each year, $10 billion is left unclaimed in matching gifts. That’s more than is raised in all employee workplace giving campaigns each year.”
With these words Ryan Scott, Causecast founder and CEO, instantly grabbed the attention of every person in the room at America’s Charities recent Membership Assembly entitled Engagement: From Strategy to Success. Ryan was one of an amazing group of expert panelists assembled to provide progressive insights and practical tips designed to help America’s Charities’ nonprofit members:
- grasp how to understand today’s motivations and needs of prospective corporate collaborators;
- engage employees beyond the workplace to cultivate volunteering and giving; and
- leverage data to create a messages that inspires donors to action
America’s Charities has published videos from each session and will issue several shorter video excerpts from those sessions in the coming weeks. You can subscribe to our YouTube channel for notifications when new clips are posted.
To whet your appetite here are some comments you will hear on our Membership Assembly video playlist embedded below, which I will address more in-depth in my next series of blog posts:
