    By the End of the Workshop, Attendees Will:
    • Know how to create and grow a CSR program regardless of business size

    • Understand the mutual benefits of CSR programs to both businesses and nonprofits

    • Gain ideas on how to innovate while shifting CSR programs in the COVID-19 era and for years to come
