What is cause marketing? 

Cause marketing is a partnership between a nonprofit organization and a for-profit company. It's a way for a business to show customers what social issues they care about and plan a marketing campaign accordingly. It brings awareness to the nonprofit's mission and work while helping for-profit companies set themselves apart from competition. 

Why is cause marketing important?

Cause marketing benefits nonprofits and society at large by bringing awareness to charitable missions through the marketing of for-profit companies. It helps for-profit brands stand out among competition as a beacon for change. It can benefit employee morale by providing colleagues a way to give back to society together through their employer. 

What are some examples of cause-related marketing?

Many companies participate in cause marketing. Cause marketing can include a for-profit company displaying St. Jude pinups in their store or posting about helping St. Jude on their company's social media account.
