Corporate partners can support Boston Partners in Education in two ways; they can help by providing volunteers to tutor and mentor Boston Public School students and/or by financially supporting our programs.
Our partnerships are mutually advantageous and provide many benefits for participating corporations: |
|
| Leveraging Grant Dollars: |
| Directing both a company's grant dollars and its employees' time and talent to the same cause can often produce results far greater than either could do on their own. It provides a unique way to leverage corporate philanthropy and provides employees with the opportunity to be part of the community impact. |
|
| Visibility: |
| Participating in our programs can increase company visibility as a good corporate neighbor through the expression of a company's commitment to a strong and healthy community. |
|
| A Recruiting Edge: |
| Many companies find that a solid volunteerism program can be an important employee recruitment and retention tool. |
|
| A Stable Commitment: |
| Volunteerism can help a company increase its commitment to the community, even during lean economic times when it may not be able to increase its charitable grant dollars. |
|
| Teamwork: |
| Company-sponsored volunteer activities can foster team spirit and allow people to get to know their colleagues outside the workplace. It increases understanding among co-workers, enhances respect for diversity, and enriches a sense of community. |
|
| Leadership: |
| Volunteer opportunities encourage employees to take leadership roles outside of the office, fostering such behavior inside the office as well. |
|
| New Skills: |
| Volunteering challenges employees to learn new skills that may help them in their careers, simultaneously benefiting the company. |
