2.Have a clear objective. Identify your philanthropic and business goals to guide you as you develop your social impact programs.

3.Leverage products or services. A successful strategic social impact program should showcase your business offerings. When you’ve identified your cause and objectives, think about how your products and services can get you there, how they can be a solution.

4.Promote and Engage Promote your cause so that you can impact the lives of people surrounding you. Look for opportunities to engage with the community and its leaders.

5.Remember your financial sustainability Social impact is important, but you won’t be able to do much if you don’t have enough money, inadequate funds can delay your goals.
