I agree, and I also think that because there are so many ways for businesses to give back (and on so many levels - very big or very small), even new and growing companies with limited resources can find something that fits their budget and their time - and can bring its employees together for a common cause in the process.

I beleive that "giving back" should be part of every company's strategic plan. It may take a while for a new business to get to the point where they are financially capable of giving back and to where they can take time away from a growing business to do volunteer work, but doing both needs to be considered from the first day a business opens its doors.

It’s hard to answer that question with a list of specific charities, because it really depends on your organization’s goals, limitations, and culture. What your company decides to do really can range from giving money to tutoring local students to international efforts. However, we are going to write more blog posts soon about ways to get involved and various types of philanthropy - so definitely check back, as we’ll have more in-depth info and ideas. In the meantime, a few sites (couple of which I've mentioned) that may be helpful in finding philanthropy options: <strong>American Institute of Philanthropy’s top-rated and “graded” charities based on their analysis:</strong> http://www.charitywatch.org/toprated.html <strong>Better Business Bureau’s charity section (lots of good resources on here):</strong> http://www.bbb.org/charity or www.give.org <strong>Charity Navigator - evaluates the financial health of over 5,300 American charities:</strong> http://www.charitynavigator.org/ Let us know if you have other specific questions and we’ll do our best to address them in future posts… “Sales Performance” – Thanks for your comment.
