Getting Started

If your company is just getting started, EF has a tried and true process for helping your company develop an overall strategy and plan to launch a thoughtful and successful CSR program.

Assessment and Benchmarking

If your company is wondering how your current programs compare to your goals or to other like-minded companies, EF can help you assess your current programs and benchmark against other companies to give you a sense of where your company can improve or change your CSR efforts.

Strategic Planning

Understanding where you are and where you want to go are the basis for creating a solid CSR strategic plan.  EF helps companies assess their current status, set goals and then develop a road map for future program implementation.

Going through Transition and Program Re-Design

Change is constant in today’s corporate world.  Successfully adapting to change is the hallmark of best in class CSR programs.  EF can help you work through changes in your company’s evolution and ensure that your CSR programs align with new corporate directions.

Employee Engagement

Leveraging the power of employees for social impact is increasingly how companies are engaging in CSR programs.  From done in a day service projects to skills based and pro bono service programs, EF can help your company design a framework and select appropriate vendors/partners to help with implementation.

Employee Communications

Now that you have a CSR program it’s critical to ensure that employees understand the mission, purpose and vision of your program and most importantly, that they understand why the company has chosen a specific path and how they as employees can be involved and/or ambassadors for your CSR.

Signature Program/Partnership Development

Many companies want to put a stake in the ground and focus on one or a few social areas to maximize impact, galvanize employees and increase brand recognition.  Signature programs and non profit/NGO/charitable partnerships enable companies to meet these goals.

Product Donation and In-Kind Programs

Sometimes a company’s products are one of the most valuable assets they have to give to charitable organizations.  EF can help you design a product donation program to facilitate the flow of products to appropriate non-profit/NGO/charitable organizations.

Contract Staffing

Companies are often understaffed, aren’t ready to hire full time staff to manage their efforts or need extra help executing aspects of their programs or special events.  EF can help.

For Privately-Held High Growth Companies:

Many companies need a combination of customized services to meet their needs.  EF is happy to meet with you to determine what your needs are and create a customized proposal to help you reach your goals.
