Good Initiatives for Everyone at FundaSitio

FundaSitio helping every organization

In order to link non-profit organizations and collaborators to create online spaces that help contribute to the welfare of society FundaSitio was born jointly with an initiative of Rafael Nunez, who motivated by his social sensitivity has decided to promote the dissemination of activities of charities, through the creation and donation of websites.

The origin and motivations of FundaSitio

Rafael Nunez

What FundaSitio is today is a concept that was created at the first time because of the awareness about the clear digital divide between organizations dedicated to the service of others and those people or organizations in need.

For the organization, concepts of Creation, Strengthening and Multiplication of the presence and the identity in the digital world are the main core of the hard and committed work of FundaSitio. The organization achieves all this by creating websites and advising on social networks on the foundations and nonprofit nongovernmental organizations, in order to promote their proper online presence as a platform to disseminate and comply with the approach of their social welfare objectives.

FundaSitio aims to be a non-profit organization recognized nationally and internationally for its excellence in supporting the digital expansion for strengthening social welfare, by donating webpages for other foundations. Some of the benefited organizations promoted by FundaSitio are:

·         Recreation Center K-rricitos Cooperative Association

Rafael Nunez Aponte: Volunteering Programs and Its Benefits

Volunteering for more benefits for everyone

What is the meaning of volunteering programs? Do you think its impact goes beyond the benefit of a brand or company? Is that impact only related to the members of the communities involved or companies responsible for the activities can also be benefited? There are more information and good results related to volunteerism than we think. That is why, today we brought details about it; you will learn more about each aspect in order to know how your company or brand can also be benefited thanks to volunteering programs for the community your company operates.

Communities are not the only part of the society that can receive a benefit (economic, educational, regarding to health, etc.), but also your brand or company as well as all your work team as a whole. Workers and employees in general are the main responsible for these activities and the ones that will receive the best benefits.

Employee engagement

Corporate volunteer activities, projects or programs can drive employee engagement. This means that companies that promote corporate volunteer programs can enjoy greater employee satisfaction and greater productivity and profitability.

Younger employees

Extending the help

Young population just coming out of college for the last several years is committed to changing the world for a better place to work and live. This is very different from the traditional or older models where benefits were almost the only variables that potential employees were interested in.

Corporate visibility

Giving does not mean there will not be clear financial incentives for the company at the same time. A perfect design and created and a corporate volunteer program that promotes employees skills can raise a company’s visibility in the community. As you may know, all this can improve your company’s reputation.

Younger employees 

However, those three previous benefits are not everything a company can earn through volunteering programs. The following are also some positive aspects your company will enjoy:

a.       Employee development.

b.      Encouraging teamwork

c.       Improved communication.

d.      Building brand awareness.

e.       Improved employee retention.

f.       Providing subject matter for corporate content creation.

What to Learn about Volunteering

Consider your employees to improve

Rafael Nunez Aponte: What to Learn About CSR Campaigns

Thinking about sustainability and hard work

Corporate social responsibility is a term that an individual and a company has to perform to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystems. A trade-off can exist between economic development, in the material sense, and the welfare of the society and environment. Social Responsibility is about giving back to the communities that keep your business in a good position, maybe even ones beyond your reach. Having a social commitment and good culture allow employees to know they are working for something that is good and with a high impact. Business becomes something far from dimensional and more importantly, it cares about people.

As you already have noticed, we like to show you different great references and examples of what means to be a very responsible company or brand. We do this for you to have the best examples and know how to act when creating your brand or company’s CSR campaign:

Social commitment

1. The Promise of Healthcare is one of the tasks created and developed by Johnson & Johnson regarding their CSR activities. The company believes the best healthcare systems put the needs of people first.
2. Forever 21 Vendor Audit Program. While many of the brand’s vendors have worked with Forever 21 for a number of years and are trusted, all suppliers and vendors must provide factory contact information and all factories must participate in the audit program as part of the company’s CSR actions.

And, of course, never forget that you have to promote all the effort. Brands, with their big advertising budgets, have a big opportunity to educate consumers about important causes and issues and the nonprofit organizations that are making a difference. The tip for businesses is to distinguish the cause area they are impacting, the charity with which they are collaborating, and the tangible, measurable impact that is being made.

Considering the people and your business
