1. Company’s need to establish goodwill through partnering with a nonprofit organization – Discussion should include the benefits or merits that being socially responsible will have on your company’s image. Make sure that you have adequate research to support the information you present. Remember that without textual, published support, your discussion will only be an opinion.
