Description:

Did you know the US nonprofit sector reported over $1.5 trillion in revenue last year?

We will discuss some of the best ways to reach out to the nonprofit sector and manage needs and expectations, while igniting your corporate social responsibility, enhancing your community, generating more positive press, building customer loyalty, expanding your bottom-line profit, and helping you feel like your business is doing something that matters. Plenty of real-life examples will be presented, so attendees will have a good understanding of the nonprofit sector as an ideal clientele with tips and resources that can be used immediately.
