Does your organization give back to a non-profit, either by providing in-kind products and services, donating financial contributions, or volunteering to help out? There are many ways companies can support non-profits and help their employees do the same. Here are a few simple tips from Global Language Solutions’ e-publication, Global Communicator, for implementing a corporate giving program in your own workplace.
1. Employee donation matching: Some companies choose to match their employees’ contributions to company-approved charities. This can be executed by selecting one or two charities for your organization to support and then giving employees the options to contribute in the pre-selected charity matching programs. Or, you can have each employees submit their contributions to charity for individual evaluation by the company’s program manager. Global Language Solutions has been supporting a charity in St. Petersburg, Russia that provides support to the elderly. We are also currently surveying our employees to determine an additional company-wide charity.
