How to Manage Your Company's Employee Giving Donations Like a Fortune 500 Company, But With a Small Business Budget

Is it better to manage your company's workplace giving charitable funds distribution in-house or to work with a 3rd party partner? One Fortune 500 company was stunned when it calculated the cost of managing its company’s in-house system for processing employee charitable payroll contributions.

However, after analyzing what it took to manage its homegrown system, the company quickly learned its assumption was false.

The adage, “behind every great man, there is a great woman,” has officially — and irretrievably — been relegated to the history books. In its place comes the understanding that behind every woman is a powerful and growing network of women who have, and are helping to, pave the way.

When I joined Ceres more than a decade ago, I was privileged to experience firsthand the power of working under a female CEO and a gender-balanced leadership team. Today, even as the organization has quintupled in size, Ceres maintains this gender parity.
