corporate donors
Company gift-givers
Corporate donors are companies that give money to causes, institutions, or campaigns.
The term appears most often in discussions of political contributions, where corporate donors fund candidates or parties, and in nonprofit contexts, where they sponsor events or programs: The museum's new wing was funded largely by corporate donors.
The phrase often carries undertones of influence-buying or reputation management.
