IMPROVED CORPORATE VISIBILITY
Corporate sponsored or matched giving can lead to financial
incentives for the company as well. A well-established and
skillfully-promoted corporate volunteer program can raise a

be tough to get. Sponsoring a youth sports team, participating
in a fundraising walk or a community food drive, or staffing
an informational tent at an " aviation day " or local air show
raises awareness of the positive effects your business and your
employees can have in your community.
These are just a few examples of the kinds of benefits a strategic
corporate volunteer program can provide. Some other important
factors include:

* Encouraging teamwork
* Improved communication
* Building brand awareness
* Improved employee retention
* Providing subject matter for corporate content creation

corporate volunteer programs benefit the company that commits
to them. If you're wondering how your flight department can reap
the rewards of corporate giving, start by asking your employees
who they volunteer with, or which causes they would like to
support if they had the time and the backing of their employer. You
might be surprised at how ready your team is for a give-back event
that raises your company profile in the community.
