Retailers are becoming increasingly aware of how charitable contributions to local communities and non-profit organizations can impact customer buy-in and loyalty to the company. The general manager at your work has asked you to research a possible community service opportunity for this class or your workplace. Some examples include reading to children at a school, sponsoring a blood drive with the Red Cross, or a local wildlife cleaning event.

Your task is to write a three-paragraph (minimum) memo addressed to the general manager and team leads at your store that recommends one charitable organization you wish to partner or volunteer with that you found via a web search. This memo will briefly discuss the rational /benefits of partnering with a non-profit, explain your recommendation for a non-profit foundation found during your research, and propose a date for a meeting with the charitable organization.

Part 1: Research & Analysis

Research the following:

  1. How many non-profit or charitable organizations are in your city?
  2. How many non-profit or charitable organizations are within a 5, 10, 15, and 20 mile radius from your city?
  3. Find the two best rated non-profit or charitable organizations within a 5, 10, 15, and 20 mile radius of of your city.

After searching and collecting the information for these questions, you will analyze this data to decide which charitable organizations would be the best matches to further explore. Use the chart linked below to compare your data from Question 3.  You should list different charities or non-profits for each of the radius distances.  You’ll rank the charities, provide their names and answer the following two questions: 1) What is the organization’s mission and what do they do? 2) How does this match your school or company’s goals?

Part 2: Writing

After you decide on one organization that best aligns with the goals and mission of your company (or school), write a memo or email message analyzing your findings.  Your memo or email message should be a minimum of three paragraphs. Make it clear in this memo which organization is your first recommendation that you wish to partner with and propose a date for a meeting with the organization. This memo should briefly discuss the rationale/benefits of partnering with a non-profit, explain your recommendation for a non-profit foundation found during your research, and propose a date for a meeting with the charitable organization.

Submission:

You will submit in one file both your analysis chart and memo/email.  Include the memo on a separate page at the end of the Analysis of Local Charities document Download Analysis of Local Charities document.
