CSR support for companies
Many companies wish to give back to their communities, however are not sure the best way to achieve this. That's where we can help. We have experience in creating, implementing and supporting Corporate and Social Responsibility programmes for companies to benefit their local community, their staff and the company itself.
Company Foundations
The most effective way to involve The Good Works Company in supporting your organisation's charitable giving is to open a Company Foundation. By opening one of our Company Foundations you can deduct charitable donations from your total business profits before you pay tax without having to go through the complicated and expensive process of setting up your own Company Foundation. Through your Foundation you can then direct funds to charitable organisations, including donations to members of staff for sponsored activities.
CSR and giving strategy development
As one of our clients, your philanthropy advisor will take you through exercises which will help you define the CSR strategy that suits the needs of your company and its values. They will then work with you to implement your new strategy, including pro-actively researching causes and charities which would work well with your values and brand which meet our strict due diligence checks, protecting your public profile. Through ongoing support they maximise the positive public profile of your charitable activities, involve your employees through activities including volunteering and educational experiences and facilitate visits for staff to visit the project.
Employee development through CSR
There are many benefits for companies, particularly smaller ones, to create a CSR strategy. Not only do you save on tax and gain positive publicity, but you develop your employees and increase their loyalty to your company too. By using our services, The Good Works Company involve your employees in your support of charitable works through activities like volunteering, visiting projects and meeting with experts for unique educational experiences. By expanding your staff's skill base and increasing their job satisfaction, not only are you creating a more positive work environment and more talented staff, but you're doing good work and getting noticed for it too.
