Context
As we emerge from changes to work practices after the COVID-19 pandemic, trends in corporate giving and employee volunteer practices and participation have shifted. In years past, the Community Involvement study has compared data reported from the most recently ended fiscal year to the data reported in the previous study. However, due to the magnitude of the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the data from the 涩里番下载CCC Community Involvement 2021 study has been excepted from comparison. This study will review the data collected against studies published in 2019 and earlier to create a comparison more representative of trends over a longer period.
