Give Smarter: Universal Events’ Tips for Philanthropy

It can be difficult to know where to begin when it comes to corporate giving, because there are so many worthy charities and nonprofits from which to choose. Our Universal Events leaders have a few suggestions that will make the process a bit easier for you and help your company make a positive impact on the world.

The first thing we suggest is taking a look at the big picture. It’s one thing to find a cause about which you and your team are passionate, but you also need to ensure that your contributions go to an organization with a solid reputation. The last thing you want is to learn that your donations have gone to a group with a poor record of financial management.

Another thing to consider is whether your people’s skills might be even more valuable than any financial gift you could give. We at Universal Events assure you that there are worthy causes that need talent donations as much as money. You might teach basic business courses at your local community college or help a charity with an innovative marketing campaign. Don’t forget that your team’s shared expertise can also make a huge difference for people in need.

If you want to maximize your giveback efforts, our Universal Events leaders suggest putting these simple tips to good use. Your team will reap great rewards from finding unique ways to make the world a better place.
