Randy Molland, the Chief Giving Officer of Give Big Strategies, explains the importance of corporate philanthropy and its potential to drive business success and lead to improved employee engagement and customer loyalty. He highlights how businesses and nonprofits can collaborate to create win-win scenarios. Molland's journey began in real estate investing, but burnout and a desire for more purposeful business practices led him to embrace the idea of giving back. He states, "If you want to make $1,000,000 a year, build a business that does $2,000,000, give $1,000,000 away, and you'll be the happiest millionaire on the planet." Molland emphasizes that companies should start incorporating giving into their purpose from the very beginning, as waiting until they are more successful may hinder their ability to develop a giving mindset. He compares giving to building a muscle, where even small gestures of generosity can lead to a stronger commitment to making a positive impact. This fast-paced interview also explores how businesses can engage their staff in philanthropic efforts. Randy shares a story about a sales company that successfully motivated its employees by connecting sales goals to their charitable giving through their profits. This approach created a sense of purpose and unity among the staff, leading to increased morale and sales. Randy stresses that it's not about the mission itself but the passion behind it, explaining that effectively communicating the reasons behind supporting a particular cause can make all the difference in how consumers perceive a brand's philanthropic efforts. One key statistic discussed during the interview was how 89% of consumers are more likely to buy from a company with a giving initiative, reflecting the shift in consumer behavior to a growing desire to support businesses that make a positive impact on society.

Some Christian giving must be done corporately, as a body or through the body. In this case, individuals lay aside what is then entrusted to the hands of certified men for disbursement and delivery.

How many prospective funders agree to meet as a simple courtesy only to pass up the opportunity that has been presented to them? What if a better understanding of how corporations go about their decision-making processes could reduce the fundraiser's workload and increase the likelihood of winning a corporation's support? These are the kind of questions that today's conversation with Lori raises. Lori reminds nonprofit leaders that, while they certainly see their cause as a top priority, unless they have caught the attention of their prospective funders in a meaningful way, they're simply one of many items on a to-do list that never stops growing.Lori is the author of The Boardroom Playbook: The Not So Ordinary Guide to Corporate Funding for Your Purpose Driven Organization. Lori's book is an effort to ensure that nonprofit leaders don't knock on the doors of corporate funders without first making sense of the dynamics that play out among those on other side of the table. Lori is the founder and CEO of Growth Owl, LLC, a consultancy aimed at empowering nonprofits, startups, and associations with the tools needed to achieve their fundraising goals. Before bombarding our prospective corporate funders with exhausting proposals, Lori wants nonprofit leaders to avoid the drama, design brevity in their communications, and understand the nuances of corporate giving.The Fundraising Talent Podcast is underwritten by Responsive Fundraising, a professional learning community committed to helping clients create places where fundraising can thrive.

Guests: Allison Fary, Senior Program Manager and Stephanie Franco, Head of Corporate Giving and Volunteerism They say necessity is the mother of invention, and it holds true even when the topic is the changing face of volunteering. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and in-person volunteering was no longer possible, companies were forced to rethink the way they gave back to their communities during a time of profound need. Luckily, the answer was right in front of them. Just as they introduced a hybrid approach to work — remote employees, digital communications, and more — they could also shift their programs to include virtual opportunities, and a broader, more open definition of what it means to volunteer. On this episode of Speaking with Purpose, we speak to Allison Fary and Stephanie Franco from TELUS, who tell us how they successfully pivoted during a massive upheaval, and why the new definition of volunteering is here to stay.

Today's business climate calls forth the best leaders and companies can offer. No longer is it sufficient to simply offer a well-positioned product or service to remain viable in today's ever-evolving consciousness in business. Companies must embrace purpose and giving in order to stand up to the scrutiny in today's business climate that expects them to steward a better tomorrow, especially around ESG (environmental, social and governance) initiatives. In this episode, we learn how Founder and CEO Charles Antis of Antis Roofing and Waterproofing goes “all in with both arms” to answer the call of purpose and profit.
