Bridging the Corporate and Nonprofit Sectors

We recognize that Greater Philadelphia businesses are deeply invested in improving the community, the lives of community members today and for future generations. Living up to our role as connector, activator and accelerator of positive change in the region, the foundation is the lead agency in the following corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Fueled by our partnerships, we have created a space to help educate, and amplify the collective impact of our corporate partners in their CSR strategy.

HOW IT WORKS

The Key Skills Hub serves as a centralized, online marketplace to match skilled volunteers with nonprofits seeking expertise to propel their missions. Nonprofits create a profile giving high-level information on their mission and list their needs in the form of projects or calls. Volunteers create a profile that articulates their skills and areas of interest.

Each partner – the nonprofit and the professional – decides if the connection is the right fit. Think of the matching like an interview process, where both parties are looking for the ideal pairing. Once the link is made, these powerful partnerships build stronger nonprofits.
