On November 17, the Times Union will publish our special section on philanthropy, Capital Region Gives. As part of a contest, 10 local nonprofits will have the opportunity to share $100,000 in granted advertising space in the Times Union. Nonprofits and the businesses that support them will be the editorial focus of the special section.
According to the Boston College for Corporate Citizenship, 2014 State of Corporate Citizenship study, “the majority of executives view corporate citizenship as a way to achieve strategic corporate goals. It’s clear that executives understand the value of corporate citizenship and are investing in processes and programs that deliver both business and social value”. We thank the 27 organizations that supported this effort.
This year, 29 nonprofits will be eligible to win a share of the $100,000 grant. Voting to determine which nonprofit will win one of the grants will be held on timesunion.com starting November 17. Voting ends on December 7. The 10 nonprofits receiving the most votes will be announced on December 15.
