Effective Philanthropy - Growing needs require giving with greater care.

 

Effective Philanthropy

In the wake of natural and political disasters like Hurricane Katrina, 9-11, the Asian tsunami and the growing awareness of global warming, individuals and corporations are donating more money, increasing their volunteerism and giving with greater care and specialty.

More Than Just The Desire To Help

With corporate philanthropy on the rise (Fortune 100 companies increased their giving by 4.8%, for a total of $32.60 million in 2006), businesses are taking a closer look at the organizational capacity and programmatic outcomes of nonprofit organizations. Effective philanthropy involves far more than just the desire to help. It involves research, analysis, planning, and evaluation.

Bridging The Gap

Small to midsize businesses may not have the resources to justify having a full time community development specialist facilitate their social programs. Connelly Consulting Group bridges the gap, working with nonprofits to develop fiscally responsible programs that maximize effectiveness, utilizing various matrices to benchmark and track success.
