Why Social Value Matters - Sustain Talks with Mark Shearer CEO of ActionFunder Responsible Futures
-
- Business
At a time where the cost of living is soaring and Charities are struggling to survive I think it's imperative that we look closer to
support those in the communities around us. For this weeks Sustain Talks we invited Mark Shearer co-founder and CEO of ActionFunder to tell us more about how they match corporates who are wanting to deliver on their brand purpose with grass roots projects!
You may remember ActionFunder partnered with us a few weeks ago, for our webinar “The S in ESG - Why Social Value Matters”.
Often the smaller local charities get left behind. ActionFunder has enabled over £1 million of matchmaking corporate funds with over 330 grass roots projects. Mark tells us a bit about why he started ActionFunder, why now is a great time for companies to get involved with charities, the benefits seen and what the best way to do that is. We also discuss community washing and how to avoid falling foul of this!
