Employees bring the cause back to the office and think of other ways to help.

BENEFITS TO THE CORPORATIONS
“Employees want to know if there’s a charitable focus in the organization, a commitment to giving back, and if there are opportunities for employees as individuals to also make an impact in the community…It informs their decision about whether or not to work for a company…because they feel like they’re working for a great company.”
-Bram Lowsky in The Globe and Mail
