This report aims to help corporate community involvement professionals configure their Employee Volunteering and Giving Programs (EVGPs) to effectively impact their communities and companies. It presents an absolute and a relative benchmark of effectiveness for EVGPs. The absolute benchmark consists of the Drivers of Effectiveness for EVGPs, composed of the evidence-based six practices that lead to community and company impact. The relative benchmark, drawn from a survey of 203 Fortune 500 companies, enables readers to compare their EVGP scores on the drivers to average Fortune 500 respondent scores, and to learn how select companies meet the drivers.
