Corporate giving professionals plan special programs to mark International Corporate Philanthropy Day each year. Below are a few suggestions:

  • Take advantage of ICPD by encouraging your CEO to join peers at the Board of Boards CEO Conference.
  • Attend The Taproot Foundation's Pro Bono Summit, which takes place February 24th – 28th in New York City. Please visit http://www.taprootfoundation.org/support-probono/pro-bono-summit for more information. 
  • Send a company-wide letter from your CEO about your philanthropic activities and achievements.
  • Post a special message about your company’s corporate giving program to your company's intranet.
  • Display banners and distribute flyers about your company’s philanthropic objectives in communal areas at your corporate headquarters.
  • Submit your corporate philanthropy initiatives to CECP’s website.
  • Announce a new grant or launch a new global partnership.
  • Work with your local Regional Association of Grantmakers or Corporate Volunteer Council to organize a collaborative program for grantmakers and nonprofits in your area.
  • Coordinate a volunteer event or give employees a paid day to volunteer.
  • Take senior management on a site visit to a nonprofit partner’s headquarters.
  • Plan a Charity Fair, inviting local nonprofit organizations to company locations to meet employees.
  • Create an internal employee recognition program and announce the winners on ICPD.

New in 2012 was an ICPD Toolkit, which provides the knowledge and the inspiration necessary to plan your company’s ICPD events and other initiatives throughout the year. In it, you will find a fact sheet; five steps to organizing a service activity; frequently asked questions; and links to a sample blog post, newsletter, press release, social media content, memo to employees and public remarks. Download this toolkit to start planning for 2013!
