Corporate Philanthropy: Where to Donate

There are a lot of charity organizations to which companies can make  donations.  Each organization typically has its own program.  The company studies these programs and then makes a decision as to where to donate.  Among the non-profit organizations, there are several, including the education field, the health field, supplying of goods, food for those less fortunate, foreign countries, etc.  The donation can be also made to the community foundation which then distributes funds to different charity organizations with different programs.

There is another important field to which companies can donate, the environment.  Even though there is often no material aid, other types of commitments can be very helpful, especially if made by a large company.  The influence on the environment made by companies is significant.  This is due to the amount of resources and transportation they use, and the bigger company is, the greater is the influence.

Corporate philanthropy, in terms of the environment means that company will make efforts to:

• cut down its carbon emissions
• not waste raw materials and its goods
• use recycled packaging (if possible.)
