Craft workplace giving, volunteer programs right to garner high engagement levels

While it's true that there are many differences between working for a nonprofit and a for‐profit company, one thing that can cut across both types of organizations is community service among staffers. In the private sector, it is increasingly common for companies to engage their workers in some type of philanthropic endeavor—whether that's a workplace giving campaign, a company‐sponsored fundraising event or an employee volunteer program. In the nonprofit sector, these types of programs are not as common, perhaps due to a belief that nonprofit workers “give” to charity simply by virtue of their employment.
