How do companies donate across borders? What factors influence their philanthropic decision-making? What attributes do companies look for in a nonprofit partner? In which areas do companies seek improvement in the future? This study provides insights into these questions by analyzing the data obtained from secondary databases, a web-based survey of a select group of Fortune 500 firms, and interviews with four large U.S. companies. A total of 59 companies took part in the survey, representing the various sizes and industries of Fortune 500 firms.en-USgivingphilanthropycorporationsglobal givinginternational givingWorking Paper
