Dear Mr. Loudon:

Have you considered expanding the community involvement program at Dunbar & Gaines Insurance? Getting involved in the community is an effective way for your organization to build relationships and increase brand awarness. As part of Hutson Group’s continuing services, we have developed the enclosed guide to corporate community involvement programs.

The guide provides advice on how to set up or expand a community involvement program. It also summarizes the benefits reported by other companies who have such a program:

· Community involvement increases networking opportunities.

· Supporting the community builds a strong customer base.

· Customers seek and expect social responsibility.

· Volunteering boosts employee retention and morale.

After you look over the enclosed guide, please contact me if you need additional information.

Sincerely,

Victoria Morales

Senior Consultant

A Comprehensive Guide to

Corporate Community Involvement Programs

Study on Community Involvement

Hutson Group surveyed 100 businesses in diverse fields, including insurance, healthcare, financial, and media, to learn whether they instituted a corporate community involvement (CCI) program and to evaluate the success of those who did. We asked about the strategies, outcomes, and impact of the programs. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

Background

Businesses are involved in communities throughout the United States. The involvement ranges from sponsorship of activities such as athletic fundraisers and arts events to participation in comunity programs as volunteers.

Companies take community involvement seriously because more than 80 percent of American consumers say they consider corporate social responsibility when making purchasing decisions. Hutson Group’s recent survey of millennials underscores this conclusion. We found that 86 percent of millennial workers value the social responsibility programs of their employers and would leave their jobs if those programs were to decline.

General Benefits
