What steps should be taken to foster company-wide involvement in support of charitable programs and initiatives? How can involved parties use their skills to the greatest effect for these worthwhile causes? How can you involve your employees, your customers, and the public to make your business’ philanthropic efforts more rewarding for everyone? Do you know how to make good use of all the potential benefits company-wide involvement in philanthropic efforts can bring to your business? These are not easy questions to answer, but they are worth contemplating. If you are willing to take the time and make an effort, you can develop a plan for your business’ philanthropic efforts that will be rewarding for everyone involved. The Social Responsibility of Business Corporate philanthropy is an expression of the broader social responsibility that businesses must take for their actions. It not only makes good business sense but also leads to more significant public support. Companies are often at their best when they are constantly searching for ways to serve their community. Your business benefits from the goodwill generated by good works, even if these actions do not directly contribute to your existing business operations. Philanthropy can be an invaluable tool in building a successful brand and corporate image. Philanthropic activities should be designed to be socially responsible and valuable to the community. The philosophy behind corporate philanthropy is that a business can best serve its core customers by being responsible beyond the immediate demands of the marketplace. Effective corporate involvement in charitable causes conveys an image of the corporation as a public institution with positive social responsibilities. Suppose you want your business to have an even greater impact on society than just providing goods or services. In that case, corporate philanthropy should be at the forefront of your mind and your corporate mission. A proactive, socially responsible business committed to philanthropic programs can help build the kind of corporate social capital that will make your employees more motivated, customers more appreciative, and investors more satisfied. Philanthropy is suitable for all involved parties, whether they are the beneficiaries of the charitable cause or not. It always helps strengthen the fabric of society.
