Community Benefit Plans are becoming more important to both business and community based organisations as a way of cementing their commitment to the community and creating a marketing platform from which to promote their commercial activities.

Organisations utilise Community Benefit Plans as a way of contributing to their communities and society in a planned, documented and evaluated manner. These plans cover a 2 to 5 year time frame and often tie into a organisations Corporate Social Responsibility Statement.

Effectively contributing to the local community typically improves an organisations public image and often has the added benefit of improving recruitment and retention among staff. DWS delivers our clients Community Benefit Plans that help organisations distribute community contributions that exceed the expectations of both society and Government bodies. We achieve this through a process of identifying stakeholders both geographically and demographically, identifying unmet needs in the area, development of a written plan, and development of an action plan which includes an evaluation process.
