The latest data: nearly half of executives say CSR initiatives drive positive business impact and ROI.

We unpack why companies are prioritizing CSR initiatives – and how they can better align these investments with core business values.

#OpenLetter from Benevity’s CEO Christopher Maloof & Founder, Executive Chair, Bryan de Lottinville. ✍️ As U.S. federal funding policies shift and there is heightened scrutiny on DEI, ESG, and climate initiatives, businesses and nonprofits committed to creating social impact face new hurdles in driving their purpose forward. 🤝 Purpose inspires us everyday because we’ve seen its impact in action. We’re not just a platform, we’re your purpose at work. In this critical moment, it’s time to connect your purpose and culture to business goals. We are with you. Why Purpose is More Critical Than Ever 📩 https://lnkd.in/gvFsiPTM #SocialImpact #CSR

What can we collectively do to #AccelerateAction towards gender equality? Small actions = big impact. For #InternationalWomensDay, Benevity-ites are rallying together for Pad-emonium to help tackle period poverty and reduce period stigma. 🩸 Did you know? • Girls worldwide miss 10-20% of school days per year due to lack of menstrual supplies, inadequate sanitation, toilets, period pain or social stigma. • 25% of Canadian women who menstruate have had to decide between buying period products and buying other essentials such as food. This week: We’re collecting feminine hygiene products across our local hubs – Calgary, Toronto and Barcelona – in support of local nonprofits: The Women's Centre of Calgary, The Period Purse and Esperança - Feeding the homeless in Barcelona. Shoutout to Cat at our Calgary HQ (left) who helped champion Pad-emonium, and Victor (on the right), one of our first allies to jump in to help and bring heaps of donations to support the cause! Let’s keep the momentum going for #IWD2025 and beyond – support local women’s nonprofits in your community. 💙 #BenevityLife #SocialImpact #IWD #EndPeriodPoverty

We live in a time that feels strongly divided. But the latest data from Benevity Impact Labs reveals that #WorkplaceGiving is not as polarized as we think. Despite divisive times, there is an opportunity for companies to strengthen existing employee purpose programs and provide their teams with the outlet they need to act as agents of change – and bond people to their companies in a time of low trust. Read our new Polarized Giving Study to get more insights and best practices for managing risks with open giving programs: https://lnkd.in/gFU3yDdK #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CSR #EmployeeEngagement #SocialImpact
