Doing Good is Good
for Business

According to the Cone/Roper "Cause Related Trends” report, more than 80% of Americans feel good about a company that supports a charitable cause. More importantly, with product, price and quality being equal, nearly 2/3rds of American consumers indicate they would change brands or patronize different retail merchants based on whether or not a company is associated with a community cause.

The report also showed that cause-related partnerships strengthen employee morale. 90% of workers at companies coordinating such programs expressed a strong sense of pride in their employer, as compared to 56% at companies that don't engage in community efforts.

According to an article on the BNet Business Network, nearly all U.S. companies--about 92 percent--participate in charitable giving because philanthropy is good business. Strategic corporate philanthropy programs positively impact a company's bottom line in four major areas:

* Employee loyalty. Corporate philanthropy has a significant impact on employee retention and recruitment. Giveline reports that 72 percent of Americans want to work for companies that support charitable causes. U.S. workers who participate in and know about their company's philanthropy are about 50 percent more likely to stay at the company and recommend it as a good place to work, according to World Vision.

* Investor concern. World Vision reports that six in 10 U.S. investors consider a company's commitment to charitable causes when they make an investment. Funds that are screened based on ethical and social concerns have increased 36 percent since 1999.

* Customer loyalty. Consumers believe that companies have a responsibility to support charitable causes. World Vision reports that eight in 10 U.S. consumers are likely to switch to a brand or retailer associated with philanthropy if the price and quality of the products are equal.

* Public perception. Companies who are fighting negative messages about their business can make a difference in their community through sustained, results-oriented philanthropy, which results in earned, positive word of mouth and media coverage.
