Corporate Social Responsibility: More than a Giving Machine
Increasingly charities are looking at Corporate Social Responsibility through business partnerships as a significant factor in their income diversification and to leverage additional resource. In recent years businesses have also begun to change the way they approach their CSR and community engagement, so this provides a window of opportunity for charities to adapt in response.
Are you asking the questions?
