We also assist with establishing an overall strategic direction for public affairs at the local and state level to enhance corporate image and integrate business goals with corporate giving. Our tactics include forging partnerships among organizations, customers and New York state agencies; establishing community investment plans to bolster corporate citizenship in service territories; and creating community giving committees to distribute philanthropy funds. Our consultants can also assist with establishing community investment plans to enhance corporate citizenship by building community giving structures that distribute philanthropic funds.
