With over $400B spent on corporate giving in the United States alone, much of the effort isn’t hitting critical needs and funding is misspent. When organizations align giving to their mission and core business process we will be able to solve some of our biggest societal needs and challenges. Kate Krukiel, who has worked closely with International Organizations for over 12 years developing partnerships for prosperity, discusses how we must understand the problems we’re trying to solve, building the ecosystem, involve those we’re building for to have utmost impact. Do good, grow your business and stay relevant. Kate has worked in the Middle East and Africa, focusing on the nucleus of private and public sector, non-profits, United Nations and Civil Society to break down political, social, and language barriers to create lasting change in emerging markets. Her passion lies in working across boundaries to build solutions and new business models driven by technology that create long-term impact. From human rights to affordable access to connectivity, technology and people are the critical change factors.
