There is more than one way to lead an impactful social good career. And there is more than one way to do the work of philanthropy. How can agencies and service providers provide foundations, philanthropic advisory firms and nonprofits the expert support and additional capacity needed to further their missions? How can you find the right external partners and make the most of your work with them to be able to reach even greater goals than you could alone?
In this panel, learn from four agency founders on how they see themselves doing good through their work and how the clients they serve can best leverage them. This will include:
- What it means to "do good" as an agency or service provider
- What foundations and NPOs need to know about hiring vendors
- How to get the most from the work and for your money by being a good client
- How to best leverage vendors to build capacity within your or your grantees' organizations"
