BNC WEBINAR: Business Benefits of Giving

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm (ET) Where: Online at your desktop

Business Giving is an essential consideration for companies of any size committed to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Business Giving requires strategic planning and action to be effective — just like the” other” components of CSR (ethics and governance, human rights, and marketplace, workplace, and environmental policies and practices). Don’t default to using to a shotgun approach for your company’s community contributions. Instead, invest scarce resources in ways that provide mutual benefits – maximizing impact on the causes you care most while also positively addressing your business goals. This webinar will debunk the five myths of community involvement, give you an overview of the menu of options for contributions and commerce with nonprofits/NGOs, and present four types of business benefits beyond the obvious “feel good factor” and tax deductions.

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 4:00 – 5:00 pm (ET) Where: Online at your desktop

Do you know value AND the impact of your company’s contributions to nonprofits last year? How did your efforts really benefit the nonprofit(s)? Your company and its bottom line? This webinar will show you a three-step process for (1) summarizing and valuing the total contributions made by your company last year to nonprofit organizations, (2) assessing the effectiveness of your internal organizational systems and decision-making for community involvement and (3) assessing the true impact of your business giving strategy (or lack thereof) and actions on the nonprofits you supported. After doing an Impact Audit, you can tweak your efforts in the spirit of continuous improvement to make sure there is more ROI for all this year!
