Abstract

There is a growing awareness that philanthropy and making donations reflect forms of action that remain distant from communities and may be assumed to generate lesser impact. To this end, some companies have made visible efforts to respond to a need to reinvent their forms of interaction with society so as to ensure direct involvement, stronger both in the bonds created and the level of intervention engaged in. It is within the scope of this challenge that corporate volunteering (CV) is located.
