tufts partner fraternities philanthropy community involvement

shared by Daniel Benoni on 12 May 11 - No Cached
  • Last month, Tufts Inter Fraternity Council, made up of representatives from all the fraternities on campus, launched a partnership with Tisch College to strengthen their capacity to have a positive and constructive impact on campus, in the local area, and in the global community.
  • As I worked on that and heard about the fundraising and volunteering that other fraternities were doing I started thinking about the impact we could have through collaboration
  • philanthropy summit for organizations to share fundraising resources and tips, and found that other fraternities were looking for ways to collaborate as well
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • each of the ten fraternity chapters on campus agreed to sign on and to collaborate on a philanthropic endeavor this semester and in the future
  • all fraternities will collaborate philanthropically around an agreed upon theme, sharing resources and co-sponsoring fundraising events together
  • Because fraternities at Tufts are already so busy with their individual chapter philanthropic activities, it was initially challenging to get all the chapters to sign on
  • However, once everyone came to the understanding that this was not intended to be a burden but rather a supplement to their ongoing activities, things began to develop well.
  • ollaboration really has great potential for better utilizing our manpower to maximize the effect we can have
  • hopes the partnership will help change some of the stereotypes about fraternities.  “While the point of this project is to increase the philanthropic activity of chapters, it is also very much to improve recognition of the philanthropic work chapters have been doing for a while now,
  • reek chapters participate in or host multiple philanthropy events a semester and the campus doesn't always hear about them, so by bringing all of the chapters together it is hoped that awareness of fraternity charitable activity will increase.
  • that people often have misconceptions about fraternities and don’t hear about the good work fraternities do - even though that is the bulk of what they are about. “I actually came to Tufts partly because I thought it didn’t have a strong Greek presence, which was something I really wasn’t interested in,” he explained.  “But when I got here I found positive role models in upperclassmen fraternity members and I was particularly impressed with the goals of Delta Tau Delta.

  • Facebook is launching a resource center to help non-profits use the social network.
  • The site will include educational materials, tutorials and a downloadable non-profit guide geared toward raising awareness and funds for causes specifically through the social network.
  • how to create a Facebook Page and explains how to set up events and use discussion boards to connect with an audience
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • he Resource Center will also include a spotlight section for successful non-profits and a success stories app where Facebook will showcase best practices and try to build a community around shared stories and advice.
  • The resource center is clearly meant to provide non-profits tools, but it’s also a sign that Facebook is taking social good seriously. Facebook has been a home to online philanthropy for some time, but it is not the only game in town.
  • t’s important from a business perspective to establish Facebook as a hub for non-profits online, but ultimately the cause — and social good — should come first.
  • The page has already raked in more than 410,000 Likes and only seems to be growing. Has social good hit the mainstream? Should more companies create resource centers?

Responsabilité sociale: un facteur d'attraction pour la génération Y | Iris G... - 0 views

  • Responsabilité sociale: un facteur d'attraction pour la génération Y
  • La génération Y représente déjà le quart de la main-d'oeuvre au Québec. Un chiffre qui ira en augmentant. Les entreprises doivent donc en tenir compte dans la course au recrutement et pour retenir les meilleurs talents. Du coup, celles qui se soucieront de responsabilité sociale et environnementale pourraient mieux réussir que d'autres.
  • Marc-Étienne Julien, président de la division Recrutement de Randstad Canada, une entreprise spécialisée dans les services en ressources humaines, nul doute que les sociétés qui s'arrimeront aux valeurs de la nouvelle génération sauront mieux se démarquer.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • La jeune génération a été élevée avec ces valeurs et l'implication sociale est une notion qui gagne en importance pour eux, dit-il. Ils reconnaissent la valeur que ça ajoute à une entreprise
  • S'il est bien de redonner à sa communauté ou de se préoccuper de questions environnementales, les entreprises doivent faire attention de rester en accord avec leurs valeurs.
  • Il faut rester cohérent avec l'image de l'entreprise, sinon c'est du mauvais marketing. C'est bien beau, mettre de l'avant de belles valeurs sociales, mais comment cela se traduit-il au quotidien dans l'entreprise? Les jeunes voient clair là-dedans et ne sont pas dupes devant ceux qui essaient d'en profiter!
  • Si, en tant qu'employeur, vous cherchez une façon de vous engager socialement, M. Simard suggère de d'abord faire l'inventaire de ce que vos employés font déjà par eux-mêmes bénévolement et de s'associer à une démarche qui semble leur tenir à coeur.
  • Par exemple, au Québec, Randstad est partenaire du Club des petits déjeuners et les employés peuvent servir bénévolement le déjeuner aux enfants avant le travail.
  • Nul doute, toutes ces initiatives nous aident sur le plan de l'attraction des candidats. Les gens sont fiers de travailler pour nous, ils sont motivés et reconnaissent la valeur que ça ajoute à leur travail de pouvoir être engagés dans leur communauté»

  • This concept of a charitable social layer has taken off on other online platforms like Jumo or Causes.com. People are becoming more conscientious of how they’re perceived online. This social layer based on philanthropic interests is both an easy way to track causes and a positive way to self identify.

    This article talks about how companies don't have tools to track their sustainability efforts, most notably these sections: Sustainability reporting is growing, but the tools are still developing. About one in four survey respondents use packaged software to track sustainability efforts, but most still use spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls. But the effectiveness of such efforts may be limited by internal systems that don't allow companies to effectively measure, track, and optimize their sustainability impacts or to understand and manage the risks of insufficient action.
