The Impact of Mergers & Acquisitions on Corporate Philanthropy

Mergers and acquisitions are increasingly common for companies - across sectors, size, and geographic footprints. And, while the market impact of these combinations is regularly documented and discussed, data on the related impact on corporate philanthropic portfolios and programs is rarely analyzed. At the Council, we have seen growth in the number of corporate philanthropy practitioners asking for guidance and promising practices on how to navigate strategic options and manage change to support philanthropic portfolios in times of transition. This invitation-only roundtable discussion is designed to explore the experiences, questions and guidance needed to support companies and corporate philanthropy practitioners as they plan for, respond to, and/or adjust charitable efforts before, during and after a merger or acquisition.

Organized by Kaiser Permanente and the Council on Foundations

This session is by invitation only
