Corporate philanthropy is one of the best ways to reinvest and give back to the community. In fact, corporate giving programs are an essential component to community success. When a corporation donates strategically, it provides the company with a powerful marketing tool, drives employee loyalty and builds lasting positive relationships.
A corporate charitable giving fund allows your company to support your favorite charitable causes while handing the administrative and due diligence tasks off to us.
Corporations can also consider establishing a supporting organization to the Paso del Norte Community Foundation. Corporations that choose this route for their charitable giving benefit from the affiliation with the Foundation but must adhere to the duties of a public charity.
The Paso del Norte Community Foundation can work with your company to create a unique fund that best represents your corporation's values and community goals.
