    In April 2023, Meals on Wheels America made an exciting announcement – a commitment of over $2.5 million from The Home Depot Foundation to support the expansion of the Helping Homebound Heroes program. This remarkable initiative, which The Home Depot Foundation has been actively involved with since 2015, focuses on providing essential home repairs and modifications for aging veterans.

Now entering its ninth year, the Helping Homebound Heroes program has touched the lives of over 2,000 veterans and the Home Depot Foundation has contributed more than $11 million and countless volunteer hours.

    Breaking Barriers With Barbie: Behind The Scenes Of The Blockbuster Campaign

    As the Barbie movie hit theaters, waves of people in pink flooded out to watch one of the biggest cultural moments of the year. It was more than just a movie, though; Mattel and Warner Bros. Discovery partnered with one philanthropic partner - Save the Children - to ensure every girl has the confidence to dream. Mattel is a long-time supporter of Save the Children’s work and was aligned to collaborate on this unique global cause marketing campaign in the belief that all children need to be equally heard and valued – and that no girl is held back based on her gender. The Barbie movie provided a unique opportunity to galvanize consumers around a movie that speaks to this vision. Unfortunately, many girls develop self-limiting beliefs and stop believing they can be anything as early as six years old. “Barbie” aimed to disrupt gender stereotypes in a way that was empowering, inclusive and inspiring. In today’s episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by Dan Peirce, Senior Managing Director of Corporate Partnerships at Save the Children, and Nancy Molenda, Executive Director of the Mattel Children’s Foundation & Global Philanthropy at Mattel. In today’s episode, we’ll explore: Key opportunities for organizations that are partnering on content marketing in global markets – and the unique challenges those types of collaborations require to reach new and more diverse audiencesKey strategies & tactics for rolling out global cause marketing campaignsHow to differentiate philanthropic opportunities from other promotional partnershipsHow to work together to ensure campaign messaging supports the creative vision of the content it supportsWhat made Save the Children the right philanthropic partnerHow Dan & Nancy prioritize their wellbeing This episode is brought to you by Save the Children.

    Empowering Children’s Health Innovators With The Morgan Stanley Foundation

    While many major corporations in the financial sector focus their social impact initiatives on education, financial literacy, and STEM programs, Morgan Stanley has charted a different course by dedicating its efforts to children's health. For over half a century, the Morgan Stanley Foundation has focused on children's health, and in 2021, the Foundation launched the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health. This initiative combines the considerable resources and extensive reach of Morgan Stanley with the expertise of nonprofit partners to confront the pressing challenges of stress, anxiety, and depression. In today's episode, EFG's Alli Murphy is joined by Joan Steinberg, Global Head of Philanthropy & President of the Morgan Stanley Foundation and CEO of the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health. The Alliance has several multi-year partnerships with organizations like The JED Foundation, Child Mind Institute, Place2Be, and the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, among others. Additionally, it hosts an Innovation Awards program, providing grantees with seed funding, networking opportunities, and capacity-building support. As part of the Alliance's capacity-building efforts, the first five winners of the Innovation Awards program collectively raised an additional $6 million in outside funding for their programs. In today's episode, we'll explore: The motivations behind The Morgan Stanley Foundation's focus on children's healthHow the Innovation Award program empowers small organizations in their initial steps toward scaling their impactHow the Alliance positively impacts the company's employee engagementThe connection between the brand's social impact work and its reputation as an employer of choiceInsights into the program's expansion plans for future cohortsAdvice to grant hopefuls & corporations leading their own grant-making platformsHow Joan prioritizes her well-being so she can continue moving this important work forward Links & Notes Morgan Stanley WebsiteMorgan Stanley Giving BackMorgan Stanley Alliance For Children’s Mental HealthJoan Steinberg LinkedIn Elevate Your Social Impact Check out our annual conference!Sign up for Engage for Good's newsletterCheck out past podcast episodesAccess free resourcesCheck out our monthly webinarsLet Alli know what you think of the show!

    All businesses start as an idea, a concept. However, only a select few evolve into full-fledged corporations, and even fewer have employees who've been there since day one.

Now, more than two decades later, she's still with JetBlue, having witnessed significant transformations during her tenure.

Citizen Verizon is an excellent example of integrating CSR throughout a corporation. It's a forward-thinking, responsible business plan that focuses on innovation and societal impact.

  8. Redefining Hiring With Greyston & The Body Shop

    19/09/2023

    Redefining Hiring With Greyston & The Body Shop

    Forty-one years ago, Greyston did something radical. They pioneered open and inclusive hiring practices, becoming trailblazers in the U.S. by eliminating resumes, interviews and background checks. Fast forward to today, and variations of Greyston's once radical concept of "open hiring" are rapidly gaining traction. Greyston now boasts over 30 open hiring "replication partners" - ranging from major corporations to small businesses - all of whom have embraced these transformative practices. The Body Shop is one of Greyston's replication partners. The company began its open hiring journey in 2019 when Greyson came in to present on the topic. Four years later, the beauty brand has hired over 5,000 people through open hiring practices at distribution centers and retail stores across the globe.  These initiatives aren't just about social impact; they deliver tangible business benefits. These practices have enhanced productivity, retention rates, diversity, conversion into new roles, employee engagement and talent acquisition - all while substantially reducing hiring costs. In this episode, EFG's Alli Murphy is joined by The Body Shop's Global Director of Inclusion, Belonging & Wellbeing, Nykeba King, and Greyston's President & CEO, Joseph Kenner. Together, they delve into the pressing issue of more job openings than people available to fill them in the U.S. and how their open hiring practices aim to break down barriers to employment. These barriers often include individuals who are experiencing houselessness, were formerly incarcerated, are in recovery from addiction or have employment gaps on their resumes. In today's episode, we'll explore: The remarkable story of how Greyston pioneered open hiringThe Body Shop's incredible open hiring journey from 2019 to the presentThe business benefits both organizations have seen as a result of open & inclusive hiringThe challenges and intricacies of these practices and how Joseph and Nykeba have overcome themPractical steps and insights on how to initiate open and inclusive hiring at your organizationLinks & Notes Greyston WebsiteGreyston Open HiringThe Body Shop WebsiteThe Body Shop Open HiringThe Body Shop InstagramThe Body Shop TikTokThe Body Shop XThe Body Shop FacebookElevate Your Social Impact Check out our annual conference!Sign up for Engage for Good's newsletterCheck out past podcast episodesAccess free resourcesCheck out our monthly webinarsLet Alli know what you think of the show!
