Early Bird Discount2018 Nonprofit Summit
GNPCC Nonprofit Summit
This event is designed to answer the fundamental question of “What do for-profit companies want from nonprofit partners?” With nonprofits doing important work in their communities, it’s those organizations that are able to address that question skillfully and emphatically while creating mutually beneficial relationships. As corporate philanthropy has changed in recent years, with countless corporate mergers and restructuring and emphasis on employee engagement, it is increasingly essential for nonprofits who are seeking connections with businesses to change and adapt their approaches and offerings.
We will be joined by five corporate representatives who will share their experiences collaborating with nonprofit organizations. They will share the factors that are important to them in selecting a partner and what they expect. Along the way, we’ll better understand where nonprofits may go wrong in their pursuit of corporate partnerships, the role of brand alignment, the importance of doing your homework, what is reasonable to expect from both parties and how to design the relationships so that they work to the benefit of both parties.
Meet the Panel:

Meet the Facilitators:
She has since led The Nonprofit Center in developing innovative and expanded programs to meet changing community needs, raising quality standards, and fostering the development of applied research on nonprofit management issues. Laura also continues to work in the areas of board development, succession planning, and coaching directly with clients.
Laura also served as director of La Salle’s Criminal Justice Program and its Women's Studies Program and Project on Justice and Society. She gained tenure in 1988 and has been recognized for distinguished teaching. Laura has several publishing credits, including the book, Women’s Rights and the Law (Praeger, 1993).
Laura received her Ph.D. in Sociology and her M.A. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania and her B.A. in Sociology from Sarah Lawrence College.
Her weekly blog, Nonprofit University (nonprofituniversityblog.org), is read in over 155 countries.
During her many years in Philadelphia nonprofits, Lori has worked for the United Way of Gloucester County determining community needs, reviewing funding applications and distributing funds to area organizations, and as a fundraising professional for the Philadelphia Zoo, Mercy Health System, and the Arthritis Foundation.
One of her most significant career accomplishments was the founding of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce’s Nonprofit Council in 1995. Lori spent 8 years at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in various roles eventually producing educational programming for small business owners and employees. In these roles she noticed there was nothing addressing the unique needs of the Chamber’s significant number of nonprofit members. The Nonprofit Council was created to educate and assist this unique group.
As the Director of Consulting at The Nonprofit Center, Lori is responsible for recruiting and managing a network of over 40 consultants and interim executive directors. She also matches the consultants with organizations in need of technical assistance and manages all aspects of these engagements.
