Business and Bagels

Description

Join us for an engaging and educational quarterly Business & Bagels workshop designed to help your business thrive through meaningful insights into business strategy and workplace culture.

Nonprofits, Small Business & The Loneliness Epidemic:    Partnerships that prevent isolation and build community

The Loneliness Epidemic continues to loom large. People crave more connection and meaning in their lives but are unsure where to start — and intimidated about the process. Nonprofits and small businesses to the rescue ….

This session explores how nonprofits and small businesses are uniquely poised to partner and:

• Address isolation with creative and meaningful solutions

• Position these solutions as benefits to donors, employees, and prospects

• Create positive connections for sole proprietors, remote teams, and the

  philanthropic community with mutual benefit


Discover how savvy nonprofits and small businesses can present these opportunities for connection to donors, employees and prospects as unique benefits — and use them as low-cost stewardship and team development strategies.


You’ll leave this energizing conversation with:

*  Data to support the case for including this concept in your annual planning

*  Specific ideas and examples of how to envision and position your organization as a welcoming third space for constituents

*  Actionable ideas for how small businesses and remote teams can get started

*  Specific examples for developing low barrier, approachable solutions to the loneliness epidemic across sectors and among different industries
