Choose the right perspective
Match the person's role to your question: someone who managed day-to-day giving, donations or employee volunteering suits questions about running grants and programs, while someone who set strategy for a company foundation suits questions about governance, budgets and choosing focus areas. Also ask about the size and footprint of the company they gave on behalf of, since a regional company and a global one face different choices about where and how to give.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you choose the causes and focus areas for the company's giving, and who signed off on them?
- 02How did you measure the impact of grants and donations, and what did you report to leadership?
- 03How did you run employee giving and volunteering, and what made employees actually take part?
Reaching corporate philanthropy experts
How can I contact one of these corporate philanthropy experts?
Pick one of the 10 people on this page and choose "Book a paid call", or describe your project to find others. You offer a fee for a 15-minute call or a written answer, Instant Expert finds the person's work email and sends the invitation, and they decide whether to accept. The list covers 10 companies, including Gas South, CVS Health and Norfolk Southern, based on profile data retrieved on October 4, 2026. Being listed here doesn't mean someone has agreed to take calls.
How much does it cost to reach corporate philanthropy experts?
You choose the offer, starting at $5 per person. It includes Instant Expert's 20% fee, so an offer that pays the person $100 costs you $125. You're charged only when the person books the call or sends the answer.
What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
