Turn Action into Impact!

365 Connect is a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is purpose-driven: to connect corporations and donors with nonprofit organizations in order to create a shared sense of purpose through Corporate Volunteering and Employee Engagement programs for long-term community impact.

365 Connect is a women-owned organization that was created to address critical needs of the community while creating lasting social impact programs through employee volunteer experiences and cause-related programs. 

What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?

Think of CSR as an integral part of your business strategy that showcases aspects of being a responsible corporate citizen to your stakeholders, employees, and community. This internal and external commitment to profit and purpose demonstrates your values through operations and investments.  

Employee volunteerism is just one component of a CSR program, and this is where 365 Connect can help! We work with you to identify long term goals of an employee volunteer program in order to bring to life a program that shows measurable impact.

Why is this important?

According to research from Benevity, the last three years have seen a massive surge in corporate volunteering due to the hybrid workspace. Never before have so many companies invested into corporate volunteering programs and gained so much in return:  loyal employees, increased team morale, enhanced company reputation, and a sense of purpose within the workforce, ultimately leading to better recruitment, higher retention, and overall company performance. Action creates impact!

How do you strategically plan for community involvement and impact?

Whether you are just starting CSR in your company, or want to level up an established program, 365 Connect will help you turn goals into results and action into impact. Companies that invest more strategically on a multi-level approach achieve stronger measurable outcomes, creating compounding impact year-over-year.

THE 365 CONNECT PROCESS

365 Connect will ensure that your program is not only well-planned and executed, but that it also creates meaningful impact for your team and its chosen cause of support.

365 Connect leadership will meet with you to learn about your organization’s goals and values.  

Step 2: Program Design

365 Connect will present options for you to select the cause and nonprofit to support based on your team’s purpose and goals, then design programs for impact with measurable goals. 

Step 3: Implementation

Step 4: Wrap Up 

Celebrate the impact your team made in the community! 365 Connect will provide a post-program summary, complete with impact metrics, to demonstrate your values and results to your stakeholders and employees.  

Step 4: Next Steps
