All Of The Previous Reasons & Some More …

Gain Customer Support:
Giving back to your community will help you gain massive traction with your customers, especially if it is a cause near and dear to their hearts. A recent study done by Cone Communications revealed that 85 percent of consumers have a better outlook on businesses that give back to a charity they care about. Often, there’s a nonprofit organization that easily goes hand-in-hand with an industry, like an organic bakery donating to feeding the homeless.

Good (and Free!) Publicity:
The type of free press that comes from sponsoring a charity certainly is good for business. Sponsoring a program and volunteering your staff members’ time are great ways to not only raise awareness about a specific cause you feel is important, but also to promote your business in partnership with an organization or event. You can get the word out about the event by posting on your social media platforms and your website, and the sponsored event can help you by putting your logo on flyers and event posters. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Hiring the Best Employees:
Getting your company involved with your community is great way to boost morale and keep your employees happy. Giving your employees time to participate in events, especially during work hours, is fun for everyone!

In a study by Deloitte on volunteering, 62 percent of 18-26 year olds questioned “would prefer to work for a company that offers volunteer opportunities to their employees.” What this means for your business is that you have a better likelihood of attracting the type of potential employees you are looking for if you offer these types of experiences.

Tax Breaks:
If for no other reason, some people chose to donate money for financial reasons. In general, you can get deductions of up to 50 percent on your adjusted gross income when you follow the tax code closely and incorporate charitable giving into your business model. When you donate to a charitable organization or a non-profit group, the amount you donate is tax deductible. You can deduct not only the actual amount you donate, but also the amounts you spend on travel, parking costs and volunteer hours and contributions on your income taxes. Many businesses feel this is a great deal for everyone- helping out the community’s needy children and keeping their taxes low.
