It has gone from relative obscurity to becoming an integral part of a company’s longterm sustainability strategy. In effect, corporate philanthropy has been called up to the big leagues.What are the conditions driving this shift? Are these temporary trends or a more profound reset? What tools and resources are required to meet internal and external demands? These are only a handful of questions corporate giving executives are wrestling with. To address these questions – and a host of others – the 2012 ACCP Annual Conference on Corporate Contributions will focus on the game changing factors redefining our profession.

The 2012 conference theme, Game Changers: Strengthening Your Corporate Citizenship Playbook, will focus on planning, deployment and analysis.
