Is your for-profit driven to give back and positively affect those in need around the globe and at home? What is the driving mission behind your business? How do you showcase your giving back to others? What examples of corporate philanthropy inspire you?

This is a great (and big!) question. We see lots of companies share stories about their impact programs as a way to celebrate their culture, values, and teams. We also see many use their media channels to spotlight their nonprofit partners. There are lots of ways companies can showcase how they give!
Have you checked out our blog? There are lots of examples there of companies talking about their impact programs.

This year, we launched a new series at our company called Why I Give which highlights employees at all levels and showcases the ways they are giving back to their communities. I know when I hear a story about how someone has positively impacted others, I feel motivated and inspired to do the same. Generally, it seems like people who spend time volunteering in their communities do so silently and rarely receive acknowledgment for their contributions; this work is often very personal and I think a lot of folks want to be mindful that they're not coming off as too self-promotional when they have an opportunity to share it with others. Our goal in this series is to give people permission to freely talk about why they give, how giving back has changed them as a person, and hopefully their stories drive others to do the same!

Love this example, @SarahFarris - what a way to crowd source inspiration & engagement around giving back! I'd be curious if it is also spurring any collaborative efforts among your team where they are finding common interests as a result of this series?
