Making the
Meter Move: Developing an Institutional Philosophy about Corporate Giving
MANY’s newest addition to its lineup of publications on professional practice provides loads of practical advice about the world of corporate philanthropy at the turn of the 21st century. Gone are the days of the truly philanthropic business contribution. In its place is marketing money, which is strategically spent to give the donor high visibility and hopefully greater market share.
Each essay delves into the intricate interface of corporate support for arts and culture and offers advice, quick tips, ethical practice, and models. You’ll want to share this publication with your board and fundraising volunteers.
