Companies that make contributing to the greater good a part of their business plan deserve to prosper.

Since our founding, For Momentum has worked with a range of companies—big and small, global and domestic, consumer and B2B—to help them develop, implement and assess their philanthropic programs and marketing initiatives to achieve measurable impact that meets business and social goals. Below are our core service offerings for corporations. Contact us to learn how we can get started.

Cause Roadmap

To effectively and authentically engage consumers and employees around philanthropy, companies must have a clear, credible and compelling strategy. We have years of corporate experience. We know the trends, the innovations and the challenges. We bring this knowledge to companies in a cause roadmap to help identify the right set of social issues, the right partners and activations to achieve positive business and social impact.

What We Deliver:

• Candid assessment of current efforts and opportunities
• Findings and implications from discussions with internal stakeholders
• Insights and implications of competitive review
• Best practices, trends and innovations in corporate philanthropy
• Identification of possible issues and partners
• Corporate giving strategy that includes recommended issues and partners, assets to leverage, elements to engage key stakeholders (e.g., employees, consumers, etc.) and business and social impact goal-setting.

Cause Program Optimization

Experts estimate that three new cause programs or promotions launch every day. It’s getting harder to stand out. Through our Program Optimization offering, we help companies quickly assess their current cause marketing programs, promotions and partners and develop new CSR strategies to maximize their existing philanthropic budget and assets to achieve greater awareness, engagement and impact.

Employee Engagement and Activation

Now more than ever, it is critical for companies to have well planned and implemented strategies to engage their employees behind a common purpose and mission. When this is done well, companies can draw a direct link to their ability to retain current employees and recruit new ones. We believe this requires an approach that goes beyond just volunteerism. To us its about employee activation to inspire and empower them to become active in their communities around issues relevant to them and the company.

For Momentum has deep expertise leading companies along the entire spectrum of employee engagement strategies, from refreshing a current program based on latest best practices, innovations and trends to creating new programs with compelling call to action, menu of opportunities and measurement goals.

Ongoing Cause Program Support

Through our years of experience, we have witnessed many corporate philanthropic programs fail to reach their full potential due to one challenge: lack of capacity. Too much to do, too few staff to do it. Recognizing this, For Momentum has worked with companies to provide ongoing program support, which includes everything from strategic counsel, management of program partners and grants, to administrative support. Our team becomes an extension of yours to effectively and efficiently implement your cause program and make your life easier.
