Marketing Your Nonprofit Organization

Nearly all companies engage in corporate philanthropy as a means of giving back to the communities in which they operate. This includes financial contributions, product donations, in-kind services, and employee matching and volunteering. Technically, a corporate foundation is classified by the Internal Revenue Service as a type of 501(c)(3) public charity called a “private non-operating foundation.” The Internal Revenue Code does not distinguish corporate foundations from family foundations. Both are subject to the same regulations. From a practical stand point, however, there are differences in funding and governance. A corporate foundation is funded by a company, instead of an individual or family. And the board members of a corporate foundation are typically company executives. However, only a fraction of these companies take advantage of the additional benefits that come from adding a corporate foundation to their philanthropic efforts. This toolkit will help you understand the benefits of a corporate foundation and provide an overview of the operational requirements.

Welcome to this special IRIS Risk Retina® focused on the nonprofit industry! IRIS Risk Retina is a service from the Cyentia Institute built on the highly-regarded Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS) series. The goal of Risk Retina is the same as that of the IRIS research—to offer a clearer focus on cyber risk through real-world data and rigorous analysis. To succeed in this mission, we’ve partnered with Advisen to leverage their Cyber Loss Data containing ~100,000 historical events collected from publicly verifiable sources. It’s the most comprehensive incident dataset we’ve seen and is used by many cyber insurers and reinsurers for that reason. Upon that solid foundation, we add our own supplemental research, data science techniques, and security expertise to provide the analysis presented in this IRIS Risk Retina.
