Companies are
taking a dynamic role in their communities. Community
partnerships with nonprofit organizations, governmental
agencies, corporations and others tackle a variety of social,
business and environmental issues. These partnerships were once
limited to donations or corporate sponsorships. However,
successful companies are now developing more sophisticated
partnerships. Partnerships that thrive because of shared or
complementary strengths of the partners involved.
Benefits to companies include:
* Building goodwill in communities.
* Expanding market position.
* Strengthening brand image and awareness.
* Attracting and retaining employees.
