BrandGood is the business of benevolence.  It's creating a new way for organizations to brand themselves and help the communities in which they serve.  If you're interested in starting a BrandGood project at your company:

1. Find out if your company has a wellness committee. If you don’t, work with Human Resources to create one.
2. Decide what in the community is important to your organization. Where do you want to make a difference?
3. Work with area nonprofits to coordinate team building exercises that will support their cause.
4. Use branded product and apparel to encourage participation and recognize participants. (QRG can show you the best motivators.)
5. Rinse and repeat. Touch the community in a different way each time in order to keep interest levels high. Involve employee family members and involve your vendors and your clients.
