There are mechanisms to encourage and facilitate giving by employees and customers<br />
Numerous other means through which corporate giving could be channeled include workplace giving by<br />
employees, much of which goes to good causes via the local United Way 96 and, occasionally, through other<br />
vehicles such as Community Shares of Minnesota. Donations are often noted in employees’ pay slips. Nationally,<br />
there are software solutions, such as AngelPoints and Benevity’s Spark!, that corporations can buy to facilitate<br />
employee giving and manage their giving and volunteering. These typically give custom interfaces for corporate<br />
giving events and generate management info. Among the most common examples are CSRconnect and<br />
MicroEdge solutions that serve corporations, foundations, and others.<br />
In Minneapolis, some co-ops are using a couple of measures to ensure that their core healthy living message<br />
is heard by customers, and that these same customers are asked to make small donations to non-profits that<br />
attempt to address this cause. Table 3.24 outlines examples of this customer giving.<br />
