Honoring Black Leaders in Philanthropy In celebration of Black History Month, we recognize Black Americans who have taken leading roles in philanthropy. Honoring Black Leaders in Philanthropy We have the privilege of working with some of the world's most generous givers. Both as organizations and individuals who dedicate their time, resources - and maybe most importantly, their passion - to make this world a better place. These remarkable people drive to help society address big, complex issues that many find too overwhelming to even consider. We partner with these givers, of all creeds, to facilitate their mission through agile social impact.

Leading Banks Offer Relief, Recovery, and Resiliency Programs Like many other corporations and foundations, Covid-19 has challenged the way banks do business and shifted how they execute their social impact strategies From grants to volunteerism and tracking CRA credits, leading banks, and all corporations and foundations for that matter, have had to quickly adapt to the changing and sometimes volatile reality that is our world today.  With any challenge comes the opportunity to seek creative solutions, experience transformative growth, and become a catalyst for change. What we witnessed from the philanthropy community this past year was incredible, but also eye-opening. We saw first hand how teams were able to adapt their programs for immediate response to emerging crises. All the while, continuing to support nonprofit partners, keep employees engaged and stakeholders invested.

5 Tips for Boosting Participation in Employee Giving Programs There’s no denying the numbers. Companies, no matter the size or market, report immense benefits from a corporate responsibility strategy. Whether the approach is via pro bono work, virtual volunteering hours, or fundraising, corporate social responsibility attracts new employees and maintains engagement throughout your team.  Unfortunately, though job seekers and employees are calling for these programs, participation numbers haven’t always reflected the enthusiasm. There are many possible causes and solutions to low participation in workplace giving, and inspiring your team to get involved might be a little less complicated than you first imagined. 71% of employees surveyed say it’s imperative or very important to work where company culture is supportive of giving and volunteering.
