Corporate Engagement Opportunities -- Maximizing Your Impact!
Did you know that there are over 4,000 companies in Charlotte but only .05% have a resource dedicated to community engagement? With over 79% of employees who want to volunteer or create community impact, it can be challenging to know where to start.
SHARE Charlotte’s mission is to build a better Charlotte by EMPOWERING NONPROFITS AND HELPING PEOPLE INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITIES in ways that matter most to them.
We have relationships with 700+ local nonprofits across all causes and missions. While that can be a big number, we are a trusted partner to help companies navigate to help them achieve their social impact priorities.
Plus, volunteerism is key to employee engagement! 71% of companies are using volunteerism as a way to unite their workforce. SHARE Charlotte can be the extended arm of your Corporate Social Responsibility team (or the resource when there isn’t a team) to plan volunteer engagement opportunities or volunteer fairs.
