Deloitte Donates Its Best Thinking to Help Hundreds of Nonprofits Battle Recession By Addressing Common Business Challenges

Deloitte takes a unique approach to its corporate day of workplace volunteerism. Typically, workplace volunteer events focus entirely on traditional, hands-on volunteer activities, such as painting, planting and clean-up projects. While those are a part of IMPACT Day, Deloitte volunteers are also delivering a wide variety of business workshops and seminars to hundreds of nonprofit executives in 20 cities across the country. These in-depth sessions are intended to bolster nonprofit leaders' capacity to deal with organizational issues that, if left unattended, can impede their ability to effectively serve their constituents. Educational sessions include Communicating Change, Strategic Planning Re-imagined and Social Networking/Web 2.0, among others. Altogether, Deloitte volunteers will participate in more than 800 projects on IMPACT Day.
