Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, a national nonprofit raising funds for 170 children’s hospitals, is a leader in the corporate partnership and social impact space. CMN Hospitals has almost 100 corporate partners, an average partnership tenure of 20 years and retained 100% of its corporate partners during the pandemic.
Long-lasting relationships like these take time and energy, but it’s one of the most important investments a nonprofit can make. In today’s episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by CMN Hospitals’ Vice President of National Strategic Partnerships, Julie Breckenkamp, and Vice President of Community Operations & New Business, Staci Cross.
