The Business Fundraisers feature allows Giving Day hosts to engage businesses in their community by allowing them to create a Business Profile on their Giving Day site, where they can share information about their corporate philanthropy and encourage employees to donate to an organization participating in a giving day.

For businesses, this is a way to promote their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs as well as their commitment to the community through charitable giving. This is a promotional activity as well as a benefit to their employees, particularly if there are Employer matching incentives in place.

For Giving Day hosts, this is a way to drive awareness to the day through corporate participation. It can be leveraged for sponsorships, prizes, incentives, as well as a way to drive more donors to the day. At the core of these features, Giving Day hosts can drive healthy competition among corporations in a regional area.

Contributing to their communities allows businesses to give back to those who support their operations. While community foundations and non-profit organizations play crucial roles in community development, they often require additional support. By donating time or money, individuals and businesses alike feel a deeper connection to their communities and derive satisfaction from contributing to their improvement. Additionally, businesses can enjoy tangible benefits from contributing to giving days.
