While many individuals choose to independently donate to humanitarian causes, businesses can facilitate such contributions and enhance their impact by adopting employee giving programs that include payroll deductions, matching contributions, and fundraising activities. Cause-related marketing programs targeting customers are also a unique opportunity to build awareness of a particular humanitarian crisis and demonstrate to customers your company’s commitment to addressing that crisis.
