Small Business Guide to Charitable Giving and Tax Deductions

 

Benefits of donating to a charity

There are lot of benefits a businesses experiences when they donate to charities. Before selecting your preferred charity, research causes that are likely important to your customer base.

Connecting with your community

There are a few reasons why your business should consider donating. Charitable giving is good PR, and it makes sense for business, especially for small businesses that depend on their communities to keep them afloat.

Charitable giving demonstrates that you give back to the community and are in business for more than profit. As a small business, while you don’t get as large a tax deduction as big corporations and enterprises do, don’t overlook the other benefits of philanthropy.

Additional benefits

Customers are also likely to feel good about supporting a company that donates to charity.  Further, your brand image is improved because charitable giving demonstrates corporate responsibility. According to the Center for Social Impact Communication, millennials place great importance on corporate social responsibility.  

Donating to organizations that fit your business’s values

To make the most out of your donations, first of all, pick the right organization to donate to. For a small business that’s tied to the community, it often makes sense to pick a local group.

When seeking out an organization to donate to, take adequate time to select one. Making contributions to charities and organizations that truly mean a lot to your business is better than just doing it for the sake of making contributions. Put sufficient time, effort and energy into choosing the right organization for your business to support.

You may find two or three organizations that fit your business’s values. If that’s the case, don’t shy away from providing charitable contributions to multiple organizations. Building a relationship with and supporting multiple charities is a good idea. It gets your business involved in your community while also building strong relationships with great charitable organizations.

How much should your business give to charity?

According to a study conducted by American Express and The Chronicle of Philanthropy, small companies donate an average of 6% of their profits to charity. The tax benefit you receive will be based on how much you give and your business’s revenue.
