Member Sponsored Event: ColumbUS GIVES | Giving Beyond the Check
ColumbUS GIVES is a new initiative of the Columbus Foundation designed to unite for-profit businesses and nonprofit organizations in the Columbus Region. Our goal? A stronger, more connected community where giving back is a part of doing business. Join Nevin Bansal with Outreach Promos and Small Biz Cares for this session. Your business can make a meaningful difference for local charities without ever needing to write a check. There are so many ways to give, including volunteering, gifts of goods or services, and creative promotions that engage your customers in your passions. Come learn from local leaders who have set the bar for giving in diverse ways, and start planning how you can, too!
