Today, there are over 1-million charitable organizations.
How do corporate contribution programs – and employee giving programs -- determine which charitable organizations are accountable to the public?
How well do they manage their finances, governance and fund raising efforts?
Do your cause-related marketing promotions include recommended public disclosures?
Does your executive staff serve on charity boards? If so, have they checked out the charity before they agree to serve?
