Unlocking corporate capacity for impact is only just getting started. Step into the shoes of the corporate sector and open the door from the inside.
US corporate philanthropy has declined dramatically from 2.1% of pretax profits in 1986 to 0.8% in 2012 even while Global Market Capitalization reached USD100 trillion as of end-2017. And yet companies complain that their biggest turnoff is when a non-profit starts the conversation by asking for money. The rapid rise in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Shared Value (CSV) indicates, though, that companies are eager for greater impact.
