Corporations
Corporate legacy that stands the test of time.
While corporate giving can be traced back to the early 1900s – and some would argue even earlier than that – the idea of giving back has been closely linked to business success for much longer. Founders of companies throughout the 19th and 20th centuries were building upon their passion to make a difference in the world when they launched their businesses, and with their newfound success came considerable generosity.
Charitable foundations launched by corporate tycoons still stand tall today as symbols of how capitalism and altruism are not mutually exclusive. Over 100 years ago, Andrew Carnegie gave away an astonishing $350 million after selling his company. In his Gospel of Wealth, he spoke about the moral imperative to give back. He led by example in dedicating his life to philanthropy.
Consumers are more conscious of causes their brands support
In modern times, corporate philanthropy has become far more prolific. Young entrepreneurs are building into their business models means of giving back, and consumers are far more conscious of the causes their favorite brands support. It is increasingly uncommon for companies of any size to not have some sort of social impact statement and a plan for investing in the communities.
Deciding how and when to launch a corporate giving program can be complex. Investments need to align with the organization’s mission while also driving an impact that creates a rising tide lifting both the company and those it is investing in. Consumer input should be carefully weighed against the business needs of the organization. Perhaps most importantly, investments should be efficiently facilitated to achieve maximum impact. That is where Delivering Impact comes in.
