Corporate donations allow companies to take active interests in their own communities and can also lead to a huge boost in team member morale. If a company chooses to make a corporate donation, workplace culture can improve with increased team member involvement and a positive general attitude that can help better our community. Additionally, donations for events and causes that drive traffic to our rural area may need funding to execute the event, and in return positively impacts our corporation and the surrounding economy
