Nonprofits are navigating increasing demands, uncertain funding and a rapidly shifting landscape — and corporate grantmakers have a critical role to play. In this Grantmaking Session, we’ll explore how companies can meaningfully support nonprofits, backed by the latest insights from the 2025 State of Corporate Purpose report. You’ll hear insights on how grantmaking has a pivotal role to play in helping nonprofits during this critical time.
You'll walk away with:
- Key data and trends from the 2025 State of Corporate Purpose report that reveal how corporate grantmaking is changing.
- Practical ways to align your grant strategy to effectively support nonprofits.
- Ideas to embed grantmaking into your CSR programs to drive greater impact and engagement.
Key learnings:
- Grant Making as a Transformational Tool: Grant making increasingly has a critical role in CSR. It has the ability to align with company values and missions, build trust with consumers, inspire employees, and drive positive, long-term impact.
- Building resilience through strategic granting. Putting granting at the center of CSR strategy creates resilience. Companies are boosting granting budgets to empower nonprofits facing market uncertainties.
- Holistic impact through employee engagement: Strategic and people-centric programs, like those at Apollo and Principal Financial, demonstrate how involving employees in granting amplifies impact. Volunteer events and synergy between grantees and employees drive success.
- Innovating for efficiency: Benevity is elevating its tools, including the nonprofit portal for donation reconciliation, exploring AI-driven grant applications, and integrating data platforms to empower grantmakers and nonprofits.
- Storytelling meets impact reporting. Aligning impact narratives with reporting requirements powerfully communicates outcomes. Smart approaches for gathering impact data and tools like Reporting Studio help unify data, win executive support, and showcase grant value.
