Business Giving
"Such programs now require a far more strategic approach that will meet business objectives, endorse efforts to secure a license to operate and help businesses work to overcome key social issues which might impede their growth."
(M. Porter and M. Kramer, "Challenging Assumptions", European Business Forum on Business Social Responsibility, 2005)
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that companies with better social and environmental performance produce better financial results. To be effective, however, corporate giving requires a strategic approach, one that adds real value to communities while meeting business objectives.
WACF works to bring the business and community sectors together to ensure that corporate giving can fund meaningful projects that have sustainable outcomes for both businesses and communities.
Western Australian Community Foundation is resourced to work with corporates in a variety of ways to assist them with designing and delivering a strategic giving program. The Foundation offers a 'one stop shop' for businesses to help them deliver a giving program without the administrative burden and cost of running such a program in-house. Our shared infrastructure provides access to a knowledge hub of community expertise and experience.
Through the establishment of a named foundation or donation account with WACF, businesses can make a shift from unfocused cheque book charity to strategic philanthropy that can deliver meaningful results for communities and ensure a return on investment for the company.
A leader in new thinking around smart giving, the Foundation speaks the language of communities and has an economically viable business solution that will facilitate sustainable giving without compromising profitability.
The flexibility of working with WACF means that businesses of all shapes and sizes are able to play an integral role in supporting our communities.
