IMO this is something whose time has come, congrats!
I’ve thought a bunch about this in the past as part of an academic impact funded project, and tried building some resources. (Also working with George Howlett on his Workplace Activism project). See the resources I gathered/started gathering HERE (admittedly, a few years old now, but there is some good info gathered there, esp on the UK). I posted about this on EA Forum here
I’d love to chat and share some ideas. In particular, I’m interested in:
Building a knowledge base about ‘what arguments and approaches help get your employer to support an effective (rather than local or ‘business-theme-connected’) cause in its CSR, workplace fundraising, and direct giving activities.
Promoting the idea of ‘volunteering to work for A in exchange for money to B’, i.e., aka a ’corporate skills bake sale (posted about this a while back).
If you’d like, please do message me and we can share ideas. This also may tie in in some ways with the work we are doing at the EA Market testing project.
OK sorry this comment turned into massive link-promotion.
