Brief Excerpt

Partnerships between business and community organisations are not new. Australia has a long history of businesses donating goods, services and funds to not-forprofit organisations and charities. Sponsorships have made possible community projects across the social, environmental and cultural sectors. Corporate and community foundations have supported numerous projects and programs.

Corporate volunteering is not new either - a small proportion of Australian businesses has always loaned their expertise to the voluntary sector through employee volunteer programs.

What is new is the worldwide interest in the social and environmental accomplishments of businesses not just their economic performance.
