Tis the season… for holiday fundraising campaigns. Nonprofits and their corporate partners come together to tap into the generosity of holiday shoppers by launching creative cause campaigns. They extend the reach of these campaigns by using digital and social media to connect with holiday shoppers who want the opportunity to do good while making their lists and checking them twice. This most wonderful time of year to give back features matching gifts, holiday themed products, employee engagement, and activations with local impact, all of which you should consider for your holiday fundraising campaign. Be sure to approach corporate partners with ideas tailored to their brand, keeping both their internal and external audiences in mind, and let them know exactly how their donations will be used and the overall impact of their generosity.

Following last year’s series of natural disasters, many companies are evaluating how they can respond more efficiently and effectively in the event of a disaster. Increasingly, companies are defining their specific role in response to disasters based on their expertise, products, people and resources.
