Connecting Business to Cause

Social impact is the new standard for how companies address social and environmental issues to drive meaningful and positive change. Through cause-marketing campaigns, event sponsorships, workplace giving programs, volunteerism and pro bono work, companies of all types and sizes are choosing to make an impact through partnerships with specific charities and causes.

In this series, we’re featuring collaborative partnerships between businesses and charities to share how those relationships were formed, what they’re on a mission to accomplish, and what makes them effective. We're also featuring issues regarding a range of causes - animals, human rights, health and research, military and veterans, children, education, elderly, poverty, hunger, and more - and connecting you with charities addressing those issues.

If you come across a cause or specific charity you would like your company to support, America's Charities team of consultants can connect you with the right charity and help you set up a corporate giving program and strategy that fits your needs.  To contact our team, visit www.charities.org/contact.

The National Cost of Alzheimer’s is Projected to Reach $1.2 Trillion by 2050, But We Can Change This.
Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, yet it is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent, cure, or even slow its progression. It is an irreversible degeneration of the brain that causes disruptions in memory, cognition, personality, and other functions and inevitably leads to death. More than 5 million Americans aged 65 and older are thought to have Alzheimer’s disease. This number is set to grow dramatically, as baby boomers are turning 65 at a rate of 10,000 people per day. By 2025 that number will likely be 7 million, and it will rise to nearly 14 million people living with Alzheimer’s by 2050.

Further, accessing needed health care remains an issue for thousands of underserved children. RMHC DC helps address those problems through 3 core programs that provide the stability and resources to strengthen families during difficult times. They help children heal and cope better.

The Life-Saving Impact of Biomedical Research
Advances in biomedical research are critical to fighting disease, and lengthening and improving quality of life. But today’s health challenges are too complex to be solved by any single organization – government, business, academia, not-for-profit organizations, patient advocates – working in isolation. That’s where the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) comes in.
