In the business of giving

If you’re a business owner, odds are you already give back to your community. Like many charitably-minded people, your business likely sponsors events, makes in-kind donations, and donates cash to favorite organizations.

Many Arkansas business owners work with the Community Foundation to give back to the community where they built their businesses and developed lasting relationships with employees and customers.

The Community Foundation offers a variety of tools to help you build and grow your corporate philanthropy program, including:

  • Corporate Advised Fund. Establishing a corporate donor advised fund helps you organize your company’s giving in a convenient, easy to use tool at the Community Foundation.
  • Matching gifts. The Community Foundation can help guide your team in creating and administering a program that matches employees’ volunteer time and dollars.
  • Grant making administration and strategy. You and your colleagues likely receive dozens of requests each month from nonprofit organizations requesting sponsorships and monetary donations. Our team at the Community Foundation can help you create and implement a strategy for evaluating and responding to those requests to align with your company’s goals for supporting and prioritizing causes.

The Community Foundation is glad to help you deepen your company’s impact and connection to your community, customers, and employees by creating a philanthropy plan that supports causes that align with the wide range of your objectives. Reach out to one of our philanthropic advisors today!
