The Sweet Spot: Corporate Philanthropy Brand Alignment vs. Individual Employee Causes

From America's Charities "Giving Under The Influence 2013" YouTube Playlist

Charitable causes supported by companies often differ from the individual interests and charities that employees want to support. Is there a ‘Sweet Spot’ or strategy companies can use to find a balance that appeals to all, while still aligning with the company’s philanthropic brand? Panelists at the April 2013 America’s Charities #GivingUnderTheInfluence Symposium lend their advice.
