Corporate Giving is Good Business

If you haven't yet instituted a corporate giving program within your organization, now is the time. Not only because your business has a vital role in helping to solve local and global challenges, but also because it elevates the image of your organization in the eyes of your key audiences.

  • 85% of Americans have a more positive image of a product or company when it supports a cause they care about.
  • 89% of Americans say it is important that business, government and nonprofits collaborate to solve pressing social issues.
  • 79% of Americans say they would likely switch from one brand to another if the other brand is associated with a good cause.
