Financial gifts are the first thing
nonprofits, public schools, non-governmental organizations, charities
and other mission-based organizations think of when they hear corporate
social responsiblity (CSR), and that's not surprising: they have staff,
rents, utilities and other bills to pay for, as well as computers,
furniture and other equipment to purchase.
Cash gifts
Project-based/Restrictive gifts
Matching gifts
Employee giving/workplace campaigns
rewarding 15 hours of service per
quarter with a monetary donation to the volunteer's preferred
organization.
Coordinating employee gifts directly
to nonprofits

domestic employees to more easily make contributions to the

When our employees make a contribution
to a qualified education, literacy or arts & culture organization,
The McGraw-Hill Companies will match their gift dollar-for-dollar - up
to $3,000 per year beginning in 1998.
Those usually excluded from financial
giving programs in CSR programs:
- Individuals
- Foundations that are grant-making institutions
- Trips or tours (including volunteer-abroad trips,
voluntourism, missions, etc.)
- Religious organizations for sectarian purposes
- Fraternal, social or labor organizations
- Political or partisan organizations
- Organizations discriminating by race, religion,
color, sex or national origin (as opposed to an organization that
targets its services for a traditionally disadvantaged group)
- Private foundations
Corporate philanthropy programs often
exclude applications from organizations that are asking for financial
gifts only to address a financial deficit ("we need this grant or our
doors will close!").
If corporations provide support to local athletic teams or
events, they often prefer that this come out of their sponsorship funds
and have a different process for applying for support. This is the same
for sponsorship of an arts production (Spottsville xx Services presents
Oklahoma! at the Audubon Arts Center!).
CorporatesJournal or program advertising
Some companies make such a com ogram
and the policies and procedures for the different activities within your
CSR program (financial gifts, in-kind gifts, employee volunteering, etc.),
you will need to communicate the launch of the CSR program internally, to
all employees, and externally, particularly to nonprofits, schools and
other entities that might benefit from your CSR activities. CSR
communications advice is on a separate web page.
