Corporate Giving Doesn’t Have to Be Cash Only
By Celeste Amato
Business owners across Maryland tell us that corporate philanthropy — charitable giving directed by a business entity — is highly rewarding to everyone associated with their business.

A corporate giving program can include direct cash gifts, sponsorships, or donations of employee talent and expertise to nonprofits or any combination of these and other options.
