Chamber Event - Strategies for Smart Giving Workshop

Event Sponsors

Strong businesses mean strong communities. Together, communities and businesses can partner to solve community problems and address community issues. Our “Fergus Falls Business Gives” program can help enhance this mutual goal.

Does your business have a specific giving plan for your charitable donations? How you can be more strategic about what you give and to whom? The Fergus Falls Chamber has the answer – the Fergus Falls Area Business Gives Workshop for businesses: “Strategies for Smart Giving: When to Say ‘Yes’ and How to Say ‘No’” on Tuesday, September 27^th from 11:00am-1:00pm at Bremer Bank - Fergus Falls.

This two-hour interactive luncheon workshop will help participants clarify why and how they give, establish goals and criteria for their donations identify best policies and practices and determine a decision-making process.

Each participant will receive a free copy of “MinnesotaBusiness Giving and Community Involvement Workbook” (a $24.95 value) as a guide for the discussion. Using forms from the Workbook, participants will leave with the outline of a giving plan for their business. Each participant will also have the opportunity to talk about setting up a budget and evaluating their efforts as well as ways to involve their employees in their giving plan.

You are invited to join your business peers on Tuesday, September 27^th to learn more about how having a plan can help make giving decisions easier.
