Corporate Contributions in Hard Times: How Companies are Managing the Economic Downturn

Release Date: June 2009
ID: V-0320-09-CH

Recent Conference Board research shows that many companies are reducing their giving budgets in 2009, making fewer and smaller grants, re-examining focus areas, and increasing employee engagement programs. In this webcast, we will go beyond the statistics and hear directly from companies on how they are adjusting their contributions programs in response to the current economic downturn. Participants in this webcast will join representatives from FedEx and Morgan Stanley for a discussion of this very timely issue.

This webcast will discuss:

Innovative uses of non-cash resources
Ways to engage employees in community involvement efforts during a time of downsizing, budget cuts, and higher-than-normal stress levels
Methods to refocus giving to address critical community needs
How to develop and implement an exit grant strategy

Panelists:

Joan Steinberg, President, Morgan Stanley Foundation

Brandon Tidwell, Program Officer, Social Responsibility & Ethnic Outreach, FedEx Services

Moderator:

Carolyn Cavicchio, Senior Research Associate, Global Corporate Citizenship
