Pattie Johnson has written a thoughtful piece called Approaching Business: Getting Corporate Support for Your Non-Profit in the June issue of the NonProfit Times.
She outlines the various ways non-profits can partner with corporations as well as providing four key strategies on how to obtain corporate support. Her perspective is important because corporations need to be approached differently than non-profit or public entities.

Bayer Partners with Carnegie Science Center to Create Environmental Programs for Children and Teens
The Corporate Responsibility News reports today that the Bayer Corporation is working with the Carnegie Science Center to create environmental programs for at-risk children and teens.
As quoted from their press release, this program is "to help foster a new generation of environmentally literate elementary-, middle- and high-school students, Bayer Corporation, as part of its Making Science Make Sense(R) initiative, has teamed with Carnegie Science Center on World Environment Day to create a new six-week environmental curriculum for the Science in Your Neighborhood (SIYN) program that is scheduled to launch this summer in city neighborhoods and at the Science Center.
The new program is designed to connect at-risk teens with academic and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields and help them become science literate. By joining with the Science Center on this initiative, Bayer is continuing its support of programs that help diversify the STEM pipeline by bringing more females and underrepresented minorities into STEM fields."
While this effort is based in Pittsburgh, PA, it provides an example of what corporations can do with schools and other community-based organizations to help prepare youth for the 21st Century.

JC Penney Customers Contribute $840,000 for Afterschool Programs
Last month, the JCPenney Corporation embarked on their Afterschool Round-Up Campaign. Over a 10-day period, JCPenney customers had the option of rounding up the amount of the purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to JCPenney's Afterschool Fund. As a result, customers donated $840,000 in which JCPenney contributed an additional $500,000 to make available $1.3M for afterschool programs nationally.
