Meet one of your course leaders:
Peter Hansen, Principal, Hansen Philanthropic Solutions
Topic:  “The Value of Corporate Social Responsibility”

 
A conversation with Peter: 
Q:  How is your day-to-day work related to the CSR Certificate Program?
(PH)  As a fundraising consultant working for several performing arts institutions and a former chief development officer, I interact frequently with the vice president/senior vice president of corporate foundations and CSR programs.  In my role as a consultant, I advise arts organizations on how to structure approaches to corporations based on an analysis of their CSR programs.
Q:  What can attendees expect to learn from your session?
(PH)  I discuss CSR through the lens of a fundraiser and former senior vice president of development for a major performing arts center.  I help participants understand how the growing migration of corporations to integrated CSR programs affects fundraising.
Q:  What advice do you have or opportunity that you see for attendees who complete the CSR Certificate Program?
(PH)  Increasingly, corporations are seeking staff who understand how to execute CSR programs.  Siloed corporate philanthropy programs are rapidly declining.  Corporate giving is now integrated into CSR platforms at many Fortune 500 corporations.
