"You know that feeling you have when you discover the secret sauce of something so life changing you can’t believe you didn’t know about it before? After spending the last 17 years in nonprofit management, I can tell you that the Community Foundation's Corporate Giving Network is the secret sauce for corporate giving. Want to know how to transform your culture through giving? CGN can help that. Want to know how to tap into lessons learned? CGN can help with that. Want to know what other companies are likeminded in their outreach efforts? CGN can help with that. No matter what your challenge is the CGN has the secret sauce." Erin Bloxham Curtis
