As traditional sources of funding become increasingly competitive, nonprofits are tapping into corporate marketing budgets to support programs, events, and even capital campaigns. Corporate marketing budgets are different from corporate philanthropy dollars. Corporations spend considerably more on marketing than on donations. To be successful, nonprofits need to understand how corporations spend their marketing dollars and how to access these funds.

Think there isn't a corporate structure in Montana, think again! Every product you see in every store is backed by considerable marketing dollars, and proven strategies exist for tapping into those funds for your organization. Register for this seminar and learn these strategies for increasing revenue and, create an action plan for turning those ideas into dollars.
