November 21, Stutts Looking for That “Win-Win” Situation  Many companies look for opportunities to do good things  Individuals within companies may have a particular motivation to contribute  With increased competition for tax and charitable dollars and less staff to push activities, both sides need to see the return on their investment  Networks are important (you can’t get much done alone)  Even if a win-win situation doesn’t jump out, keep a dialogue going
