Benefits of Workplace Giving

EarthShare of Georgia can help employers develop effective workplace campaigns that address the philanthropic interests of the company and the individual employee.

Community Leadership – A strong EarthShare of Georgia campaign demonstrates a company’s commitment to quality of life issues and corporate social responsibility.  “Air quality” and “water” now rank among Georgian’s top five concerns.

Corporate Recognition
– EarthShare of Georgia recognizes its partnering businesses as environmental leaders through advertising and other promotional opportunities.

Being Green is Easy - EarthShare of Georgia provides a simple and inexpensive way for businesses to implement a sustainability initiative and support environmental causes.

Smart Economies - EarthShare of Georgia’s low administrative costs (under 10%) ensure that your donation makes a difference.

One Simple Way - EarthShare of Georgia is the only statewide organization connecting employees to environmental groups through workplace giving campaigns.


For the Employee:

Employee Choice - Employees have the unique option of making one gift to be shared among all 60 + local, national and international member groups or designating to one or more member groups of their choice.

Education – Campaign information about charitable organizations expands an employee’s knowledge about their community.

Satisfaction Employees experience greater satisfaction when they are able to give to organizations that address issues that are important to them.

Employer Relations
– Employees feel more closely connected to companies that are sensitive to their interests and empower them through choice.

Reduced Pressure
– A campaign focused on education and voluntary giving is less pressured than a campaign with limited or no choices.

For Charities and Communities:

More Resources
– Workplace campaigns are a sustainable source of funds for a non-profit community committed to finding and promoting solutions to issues of energy and wildlife conservation, clean air and clean water.

Expanded Outreach
– The workplace provides new and expanded avenues for community outreach to increase non-profit’s support base.  When valuable lessons of energy and wildlife conservation are allowed to spread throughout the community, everyone wins.

Increased Partnership
– Employee Giving campaigns encourage cooperation and collaboration among charitable organizations, as well as between businesses and non-profits.  These partnerships help to reduce duplication and build more meaningful community coalitions.
