Corporate Giving Network
The bridge between Puget Sound nonprofits and the companies that fund them. Corporate Giving Network teaches nonprofits how corporate philanthropy actually works, then puts them in the room with the funders who decide: grants, sponsorships, cause marketing, and workplace giving. Founded and led by Joy Stephens, it has become the region's standing forum for corporate giving, with monthly gatherings across Seattle, the Eastside, and the South Sound.

Joy Stephens
Founder and CEO
Joy Stephens founded Corporate Giving Network to close the gap she kept watching nonprofits fall into: doing great work while never meeting the corporate funders who wanted to support it. She built the region's go-to education and networking forum for corporate philanthropy, from the eight-week Fundamentals of Corporate Giving course (12 CFRE points) to the Corporate Connections speaker series, and she places business professionals on nonprofit boards. A Columbia Tower Club alumna and a connector by every measure.
