Why bother with corporate volunteering & workplace giving?

A video excerpt from a presentation by Chris Jarvis, Co-Founder & President of RealizedWorth.

  • What exactly does an employee engagement program involve & why should your company care?
  • How do you engage your employees and actually get them to participate in your employee engagement program?
  • What do non-profit organizations need to do in order to better engage volunteers and successfully collaborate with companies? 

America’s Charities recently hosted its annual Membership Assembly at Georgetown University, where several guest speakers shared their experiences, presented practical, innovative solutions concerning non-profit sustainability and offered successful approaches for non-profits and companies to better engage volunteers, donors and employees.  This video is a small excerpt from one of this year’s conference guest speakers, Chris Jarvis (Co-Founder & President of RealizedWorth).  Chris’s presentation was so good that it was extremely difficult to cut-down his presentation to this 25-minute segment (so if you ever have a chance to attend a live presentation by Chris Jarvis, we 100% recommend it). Also, check out Chris’s Prezi presentations for more interesting ideas, information and statistics pertaining to CSR.
