Balancing effective charitable campaigns with sound business goals is an issue with which companies are increasingly grappling. One way companies have found to increase the effectiveness of their donations, is to form relationships with charities in order to make a more targeted and significant impact. One example is DPMG, a Canadian-based web marketing company that will be auctioning a website domain this May with a significant portion of the proceeds going to two non-profit organizations.
The site will be auctioned on EBay starting on May 4. Net proceeds will be donated to the Equality Forum, a Philadelphia-based advocacy organization, and the Toronto-based Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
The rewards of philanthropy are often surprising. Companies that make a point of doing well by doing good report higher employee satisfaction, are more attractive to potential employees in a competitive market and project a better sense of corporate purpose.
Andrew Carnegie, the prototypical corporate philanthropist, once said “the man who dies rich, dies disgraced.” In his lifetime he gave away 90% of his wealth. Today, Carnegie’s example is continued by Bill Gates of Microsoft and Pierre Omidyar of EBay. Others in the Internet/computer world are also leading the drive in corporate giving and promoting increased corporate responsibility.
“If we can improve our bottom line while improving the situation of others, and the person or company that wins the auction has a great opportunity to do likewise, then that’s a win-win-win situation for everyone,” says Michaluk, who believes the site will sell for more than $100,000 US. “Doing well by doing good is a great creed to live by.”
