Corporate Foundation and Board Governance

bcccc-executive-education-foundations

Ensure your corporate foundation is structured for success.

Foundations have long been an effective, popular vehicle for distributing corporate philanthropy; they enable companies to more easily give internationally, distribute scholarships and grants to individuals, and can be set up to endow corporate philanthropy to stabilize giving over time. Foundations are also administrative commitments which have legal and reputational ramifications for the company as well as the board of directors of the foundation.

In this mini-course, you will learn:

  • How to develop the documentation you need to establish and administer a foundation.
  • Proper roles and requirements of the foundation's board of directors.
  • Best-practice approaches to ensure that your foundation is set up to achieve its strategic objectives.

The Foundation and Board Governance course pack includes:

Two 1-Hour Webinars
