This document discusses how businesses can leverage cause-related marketing and advertising to benefit communities and non-profits. It notes that while individuals donate far more to charity than corporations, businesses spend huge amounts on advertising each year. The WeThinkItMatters platform aims to direct a portion of advertising spending to charities by allowing consumers to vote on which causes receive funding from campaign sponsors. This integrated approach provides benefits to businesses, non-profits, individuals, and communities.
