Whether you are watching TV or reading your local newspaper, it is common to see nonprofits requesting donations for various causes. Instead of letting these opportunities fall by the wayside, franchises and other organizations should take an active role in supporting charities on both a national and local level. If an organization has the resources, giving back to the community should be a priority.
It’s my belief that organizations should make it a focus to establish and maintain charitable giving programs because, in most cases, we have the capital and resources to do it. Running a business means that we generate revenue and profits, and I believe that we have an obligation to give some of that back and provide some benefits to the larger society of which we are a part. This is one of those cases wherein a small contribution by a large number of businesses can have a major positive effect on society that compounds with more participation.
