Create Your CSR Events Calendar in Six Easy Steps

Six Steps to Develop Your CSR Events Calendar

1. Create Your CSR Vision

First, determine your company’s goals. What do you want to achieve in one, five, or ten years? Do you want to help relieve childhood poverty or help keep your local parks clean? Why is this important to your company? From there, you can decide on how your team will work towards those goals, through events like food drives or benefit dinners. You may also want to choose a philanthropic organization to partner with, if it aligns with your vision.

2. Implement Your Strategy

Reach out to any organizations you want to partner with, such as your local food bank, and determine how your CSR program can help support them. Once your partnerships are in place, create any promotional materials you may need before announcing the program.

3. Communicate to Your Organization

Once your philanthropic objectives have been defined and all partnerships and materials are ready to go, it’s time to communicate the program company-wide.

4. Encourage Your Team to Get Involved

Employees are more likely to become invested in the program if they are regularly involved. Encourage them to participate through events or updates on your CSR goals.

5. Measure Your Program’s Success

Create benchmarks within your organization to monitor different areas of success, such as customer loyalty, employee engagement, and community impact.

6. Share & Celebrate Your Achievements

Share the success of your program with your customers through your company newsletter or a press release. And don’t forget to celebrate any achievements with your team!
