Working with the Business Sector

ANNOTATED TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Seeking Common Ground with Business
  Primarily for grantmakers working outside the corporate sector, this section looks at several key questions. How much business involvement in philanthropy is realistic? What kind of involvement should you seek? And how can you balance a need to engage business with, in some cases, a desire to change how business is conducted?
   
• Philanthropy and Corporate Citizenship
  Intended mainly for people working in corporations and corporate philanthropy, this section offers suggestions for linking business and charitable activities in ways that benefit both.
   
• Forging Partnerships Across Sectors
  On either side of a business philanthropy collaboration, cultural differences, misunderstandings, and simple inexperience can get in the way of cooperation. With patience and creativity, these can be overcome - or at least managed.
