What is “Alternative Funding”?
• Moving beyond the corporate philanthropy arm to the business side of the organization– In with the flow of the river, not a side stream
• Find the WIN-WIN that promotes the NPO cause and helps the Corporation sell– Beyond logo placement to multi-level marketing programs– The engagement can help their employees to feel better about
working there
• Define partnerships beyond the simple black and white– Evaluate everyone in the broader cause ecosystem and don’t
be afraid to approach players on the opposite side of an issue
