Corporate Giving Moving Into a New Age :: PNNOnline ::

Corporate Giving Moving Into a New Age :: PNNOnline ::: "With giving budgets down for many corporations and fewer community involvement staff on the payroll, corporate charitable giving departments are busier than ever. The good news for many charities is that the corporations surveyed by LBG Research Institute show no decrease in their commitment to supporting their communities.


According to the report, 'Making the Most of What We Have: Corporate Giving in the New Economy,' corporations and their foundations are showing their support for their communities by marshalling other, non-cash resources. More than 84% of corporations surveyed say they are encouraging more employee volunteerism to offset a decline in cash giving. More than 48% have increased the number of volunteer events this year. And almost 45% report increased participation rates in their employee volunteer programs."
