Signal 13 Foundation Launches Corporate Partner Program

The Signal 13 Foundation is proud to announce its corporate partner program, the Signal 13 Police Support Circle. The program provides marketing opportunities for Baltimore companies while supporting the brave men and women of the Baltimore Police Department. A membership is good for a year, and benefits vary on your company’s level of support.

Why do corporations give to nonprofits? Today, it’s not enough for companies to simply sell a good product. Partnering with nonprofit organizations benefits for-profit companies, and nonprofits have a lot to offer. In order to build a successful partnership, it’s important to understand a business’s motivation:

Employee satisfaction:
Professional development:
Public Image:
Marketing:

In the past few years, the rise of B-Corporations has signified a clear shift in strategy among corporations. To be certified as a B-Corporation, a company must “meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.” Increasingly, other for-profit companies are declaring their role in the fight for social change, and are working to do their part for collective impact efforts. Partnering with the Signal 13 Foundation will provide your company and employees significant benefits beyond your investment.

Companies with high social and environmental responsibility standards prefer working with other companies with similarly high standards. It reinforces the value of their brands because responsible partners are more trustworthy.

Many of today’s employees are looking for companies with strong social values. For a company seeking the best and the brightest, strong social performance may be essential for successful recruitment.
