In 2024, we officially entered an Innovation Partnership with CECP (Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose) with the shared goal of streamlining the data-gathering process for the annual CECP Giving in Numbers survey, improving industry benchmarking and CSR insights.
For over 20 years, CECP has leveraged data from its annual survey—completed by hundreds of companies—to publish the Giving in Numbers report. This report helps corporations benchmark their corporate community investments, including cash and non-cash contributions, employee volunteerism and giving, and impact measurement.
Dashboard Details
The CECP Giving in Numbers dashboard provides administrators with a centralized dashboard to access key survey-related data, covering areas such as Total Community Investments (TCI), employee engagement, and international investments.
The dashboard is available to all Insights users within the Standard > Dashboards folder and aims to simplify the process of gathering, organizing, and submitting required information, ultimately enhancing efficiency and accuracy for administrators.
Target Audience: Program Administrators & Program Coordinators responsible for gathering and reporting corporate social responsibility (CSR) metrics.
Key Features:
- Clear mapping of specific CECP survey questions to relevant data sets.
- Textual guidance and links to CECP resources for additional context.
- Advanced filtering options for tailored data adjustments.
- Customizability, allowing users to copy and modify the dashboard to fit their organizational needs.
Key Benefits:
- Time Savings & Efficiency - The structured, CECP-aligned data format significantly reduces the time required to gather and report CSR metrics—a process that often takes days or even weeks.
- Improved Accuracy & Benchmarking - Admins can focus on analyzing their social impact rather than compiling data while gaining clearer CECP insights into how they compare with industry peers.
- Enhanced Reporting Experience - A streamlined experience ensures that organizations can participate in the Giving in Numbers survey with minimal effort and greater confidence.
