At its recent Summit, Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) released the first edition of its 2014 Giving in Numbers Brief. Among its findings: asked which stakeholder group would matter most in a decision to expand community investment, over one-third of the 261 responding companies named their employees (over groups like customers, shareholders and board members). More than three-quarters of respondents say they have started measuring the outcomes and/ or impacts of their giving – and that they want to do it better. More benchmarks are in CECP’s press release.
