Retailers are becoming increasingly aware of how charitable contributions to local communities and non-profit organizations can impact customer buy-in and brand loyalty to the company. Your general manager has asked you to research a possible community service opportunity for your workplace.
Your task for this assignment is to write a three-paragraph (minimum) memo addressed to the general manager and team leads at your store. In your memo, recommend one charitable organization you wish to partner or volunteer with that you found via a web search. This memo will briefly discuss the rationale and benefits of partnering with a non-profit and propose a date for a meeting for your team and members of the charitable organization.
Part 1: Research
- How many non-profit or charitable organizations are in your city/town?
- How many non-profit or charitable organizations are within a 20-mile radius of the school/business you work for?
- Find the three best-rated non-profit or charitable organizations within a 20-mile radius of the school location/business you work for.
Part 2: Analysis
After searching and collecting the information for the questions in Part 1, you will analyze this data to decide which charitable organizations would be the best match with your team. Use the chart linked below to compare your data from Part 1, Question 3.
1) What is the organization's mission and what do they do?
2) How does this match the school or company's goals?
Find the three best-rated non-profit or charitable organizations within a 20-mile radius of the school location/business you work for. Use the chart below to compare the different charities with one another. You'll rank the charities, provide their names and answer the following two questions:
- What is the organization's mission and what do they do?
- In your opinion, how does this match the school or company's goals? (Institutional Match). Find the answer as best as you can.

Part 3: Writing
After you decide on one organization (out of the three you found in the previous step) that best aligns with the goals and mission of your company, write a memo or email message analyzing your findings. 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 on the organization to work with.
This memo should briefly discuss the rationale and 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.
