We lead purpose-driven client engagements.

Standing up a Corporate Foundation 

As companies increasingly embrace social responsibility, their leaders are evaluating how best to deploy all their capital for impact — financial, human, intellectual, political, etc. 

They are taking a holistic view, looking across the enterprise to develop purpose-driven policies and programs that range from designing an equitable workplace to making grants to nonprofits to managing carbon footprints, and beyond. 

Overview 

Being intentional about putting philanthropic capital to work leads to deeper impact. Listening to stakeholders and looking across an organization to identify resources helps inform a plan that opens a pathway for broader engagement internally and in the community. 

Client Scenario 

Our team was retained by a Fortune 1000 to answer a board directive: stand up a corporate foundation. The engagement included performing an industry scan to understand where the company fit among its peers, as well as undertaking a deep discovery process to write a founding mission and pillars of support and focus areas. 

The work increased connectivity across the global company’s stakeholders, reinforcing corporate purpose in a visible and transparent way. From that base we continued to advise on an employee volunteerism model. 

Listening to community members and understanding their particular needs allowed the foundation to invest in transformational partnerships and be intentional about creating positive and lasting impact for people, animals and the environment. 

Ready for Change 

If your company is ready to put all of its capital to work and effectively communicate a leadership driven purpose across ESG and CSR, we can help lead the way. 

Our team will work together with you to articulate a mission and architect a roadmap that is intentional, inclusive, and impactful. Our work is thoughtful, strategic and custom for each client, creating the formula to build real-world programs for real social change.
