All too often, this results in woefully inadequate contributions to fund nonprofit programs that take on society’s imminent challenges. In the traditional model of corporate philanthropy, a business determines the size of its donation based on its profitability only after it has completed its key business operations. The current infrastructure for charitable giving is not only incredibly fragile, but it is also limited by financial constraints. While these philanthropic donations are critical to addressing the immediate fallout of COVID-19, this source of funding actually runs the risk of depletion because corporate profitability is threatened by the pandemic. Today, companies big and small are rising to the call by donating millions of dollars to nonprofits on the front lines of the crisis. That’s why the government alone can’t solve dire social challenges. Deep-rooted, interconnected issues require coordinated, interconnected solutions. The current crisis reveals just how vulnerable society is when we continually fail to address systemic issues like poverty, homelessness and educational inequality. Rewiring Business Operations To Address Social NeedsĬOVID-19 has devastated the lives and livelihoods of communities across the world. It’s time to ask ourselves how we can redesign business models and rewire operations so that people’s needs are at the center of business - not just in times of crisis, but every day. While issues like climate change, social inequality or world hunger disproportionally hurt low-income communities, their effects ultimately hurt everyone, threatening the business community, too.ĭuring this critical time, we need to seize this opportunity to reevaluate the role of business. Send us feedback about these examples.Post-crisis, we won’t return to “business as usual” - nor should we, because business as it was before the pandemic played far too small a role in addressing society’s most pressing problems, many of which are exacerbated by COVID-19.
