There is a way to harness the power of Capitalism for the Common Good that avoids government spending, taxes, stimuli, or bailouts. Companies can grant Social Bonuses by donating warrants to charity – something that doesn’t cost them anything to give – and get a deferred tax deduction for the value of the gift.

Involvement with non-profit organizations can have a massive impact on moral! Additionally, I appreciate the fact that you included the "Survey employees to determine what issues they would like to see your company support, while also considering initiatives that match company goals, align with your brand, can be communicated easily, and can be executed." It's important that value flows both ways in these initiatives! Working together, commercial and non-profit organizations can achieve great things! I'm setting out to prove this point myself with the soon-to-be-launched Red Shoe Project. Aligning with brand, making the project fun and, of course, easy to execute are key! People shy away from projects that are too complex. Empowering people to get involved through simple non-financial contributions can rapidly shift the project from a pocketed effort to a company-wide mission! Thanks again!
