Why do professionals volunteer to assist the arts?
“Putting a company's intellectual capital to work for society is not just altruistic; it is good for
business. Not only will companies make more-valuable contributions, but their employees will
gain important professional-development opportunities and greater personal fulfillment. What's
more, the corporation will have an opportunity to showcase its professional skills to everyone who
interacts with the charity.”
