The skill-sharing session “Donation Cycle: from planning to reporting” aimed at consolidating the relationships between corporate partners and Food Banks sharing best practices and experiences about partnerships with the private sector. The session built on the experience of some corporate partners – General Mills Foundation, Kellogg Europe, and Fondo di Beneficienza Intesa Sanpaolo – and focused on the donation cycle, from the first contact with a corporate donor till the end of the reporting process. The ultimate goal was to strengthen the process and to improve the results for the whole network.
