Most businesses want to know how their giving practices stand in comparison to the practices of comparable-sized businesses in Minnesota. Taking a close look at key giving indicators helps a business reflect on its own giving program and set goals.
Take a look at the Business Scorecard and Ways to Give to see where your business stands. The benchmarking categories were developed based on research conducted in 2002 by Building Business Investment in Community, the forerunner to Minnesota Business Gives. The study involved interviews with close to 600 Minnesota businesses of all sizes and types.
The study, The Business of Giving Back, showed that business philanthropy in Minnesota is robust, that giving and community involvement is widespread throughout the state and throughout all sizes of businesses, that the focus of giving is local, and that the range of ways in which businesses contribute to their communities is extensive.
