Launching Corporate Philanthropy with Corporate Business Solutions

CHICAGO - July 18, 2016 - PRLog -- The business experts at Corporate Business Solutions (http://www.cbs-cbs.com/) realize that corporate giving has become the norm in the business world.  Establishing philanthropy in the workplace can be a challenge for business owners, so many entrepreneurs are looking for guidance. If you're looking to establish a corporate giving program, the executives at Corporate Business Solutions offer these tips to begin the process:

• Begin with a solid foundation - Sound business practices make for ideal philanthropic planning. Having a stable organization, even if profits aren't soaring yet, will ease the process of incorporating giving as part of the mission of the business
• Cultivate a strategy - Philanthropy starts with an idea and one of the first steps is developing a strategy around giving.  Determine what issue or issues will the company be addressing and why, what form will the philanthropy take, precisely how that will be accomplished, the long-term goal and how that all fits into the company's core values.
• Determine objectives - Philanthropy has a number of forms, not just monetary ones, so the key is to find a donation structure that melds with the company's identity and plays off its strengths. Non-cash options include donating products and services, such as volunteering based on the company's unique skill sets.
• Become part of your community - Successful philanthropic endeavors are built steadily over time. The impact comes not just from which organizations receive funding but also the development of positive, lasting relationships between companies and their communities.
• Partner with the right fit charities - When looking for a nonprofit to partner with, take a close look at the organization's leadership, programs, activities and strengths, as well as the risks associated. Do research by assessing their track record and financial stability.
