CECP’s latest Giving in Numbers™: 2024 Edition reveals a 2% increase in corporate giving from 2021 to 2023, with nearly 90% of companies using corporate purpose statements to guide their contributions. Kate Stobbe, CECP’s Director of Corporate Insights, shared with The Chronicle of Philanthropy that, while some companies reduced giving, contributions as a percentage of pretax profits are nearing CECP’s 1% gold standard. Corporate giving to climate and global initiatives has grown significantly, though funding for racial-equity causes has faced external pressures. Despite low participation in employee matching programs, there is renewed interest in volunteerism as companies strive to align their efforts with social impact goals.
