Treasure, time, and talent.
Increasingly corporate social responsibility programs are adopting skills-based volunteering in nonprofits with their employees. Skill-based volunteering enables a corporation to use its unique expertise and the specific capabilities of its employees to support nonprofit partners. This is a more targeted and aligned volunteer strategy.
For example,
· A regional bank offers its HR expert to a nonprofit to develop a recruitment strategy with them to diversify and grow its core staff.

· A technology company offers a volunteer software development team to help a local food bank set up a system to track the distribution of food contributions from regional suppliers.

· A STEM education organization secures a group of career mentors from a Company’s engineering and design departments.

In a panel discussion today hosted by Philanthropy Massachusetts, corporate social responsibility directors shared that they are working toward transformative relationships rather than transactional ones, in order to address large societal challenges.
