The Impact of Corporate Philanthropy
Corporate Philanthropy
Today's consumers and workforce want corporations to be philanthropic. They care deeply for social and environmental issues, wanting to align themselves with companies that give back to the communities that make them profitable.
Cultivating a purpose-driven workplace with modern generous benefits and an effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program is no easy task, but the currency of goodwill has proven to be well worth the effort. Employees want to be part of a corporate culture that
cares, and demonstrates this through philanthropic efforts such as matching employee donations dollar for dollar through a Payroll Giving program.
Very few individuals have the power to give with the impact of a corporate donor. For that reason, corporate gifts are often the most influential dollars given in support of organizations working to solve the world's biggest problems.

Work with GlobalTrust Funds to create an optimal Corporate Philanthropy program that melds the needs of your company with the core values of your employees.

Corporate Generosity at Scale
Maximizing Your Corporate Generosity
Corporate Giving Accounts have the added benefit of being able to be funded by more than just cash. Donations may come in the form of appreciated stock, or even non-publicly traded assets like private business interests or cryptocurrency. Additionally, your company’s charitable balance may be invested for future growth to help your gift go further for longer than an outright donation. From just one initial tax-advantaged gift, your company can support multiple charities on a timetable that aligns with your company's unique needs.
Reduced Internal Administration
Corporate Giving Funds carry a low administrative cost when compared to internally managed foundations and giving programs which require dedicated staff, reporting, due diligence and grantmaking expertise. The funds are designed to receive payroll donations from employee’s after-tax dollars, allowing them to receive the tax donation for their gift. Most corporations offer to match employee gifts up to 50% of the dollar amount. This process makes it easy for corporations to demonstrate their commitment to their employees and communities, while making a difference for charitable organizations in any part of the world.
