With the increase focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), more corporates are shifting their focus and funding towards sustainable development within their own business. These initiatives are complimented by broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) programmes, which require extensive knowledge on the part of the NGO.
Fund-raisers who attend will be able to:
• Interpret BEE scorecards to identify corporate donors

• Effectively approach donors with funding opportunities to satisfy BEE requirements
• Tailor proposals to extend appropriate donor benefits
• Collect the relevant data for donors' BEE verification agents to allocate points
