*The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce is offering a free online workshop 
for your members, *January 29 *from***Noon - 1:00 p.m. See the

*Strategies for Smart Giving: When to Say "Yes" and How to Say "No" 
<http://business.mnchamber.com/Events/details/webinar-strategies-for-smart-giving-when-to-say-yes-and-how-to-say-no-1844>*
January 29 *| *Noon - 1:00 p.m.

This workshop helps businesses better understand why and how they give 
and how they can be more strategic about what they give and to whom - in 
other words, when to say "yes" and how to say "no" to the many requests 
for assistance from nonprofit and community groups.

In today's economic climate, having a thoughtful plan for community 
giving is even more important. Your member business might have fewer 
resources to contribute, while at the same time the requests for help 
are growing. They are committed to making your community a healthy and 
strong place for their employees and neighbors, but know they can't 
respond to each and every request.  Help your local businesses out by 
offering them a workshop to define their giving plan!

The goals for this workshop are to give participants:

  * The framework for a giving plan that will help them be more
    strategic about their giving
  * Tools to help implement that plan, and
  * An opportunity to share experiences and best practices with their
    business colleagues


At the workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the 
*Minnesota Business Giving and Community Involvement Workbook*. Using 
forms from the workbook, they will leave with the outline of a giving 
plan, including goals and criteria for giving, contributions policies 
and procedures, and suggestions for an effective decision-making process.

Gather up your members for this great online workshop!
