From Corporate Handouts to Corporate Partnerships

By Veronica Scheubel

Philanthropy is about donating to charity without expecting a return. Companies have historically contributed to society in this way. Strategic philanthropy, which is a more modern approach, is about directing corporate giving to a cause that is aligned with the core business.

Corporate Giving Has Become Increasingly Focused - An Interview with Charles Moore

C. Moore, Executive Director, CECP
C. Moore, Executive Director, CECP

What is the history and mission of the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy?

Charles Moore: In 1998, Paul Newman approached Peter L. Malkin about creating an organization that would encourage companies to commit greater resources to charitable investments. Malkin invited David Rockefeller, Paul Volcker, and John C. Whitehead to join him in this effort as Honorary Chairs, and CECP was born.

CECP was officially launched on November 18, 1999, at a press conference at Chase Manhattan Plaza. At this event, Paul Newman, John C. Whitehead, Peter L. Malkin, Walter Shipley, and other business leaders called upon companies to respond to the needs in their communities.

CECP has since grown to include more than 180 CEO members – representing more than 150 major corporations and approximately $10 billion in annual corporate giving.
