In general, how can you distinguish between heartfelt philanthropy and PR moves?
- evgen 9y agoHeartfelt philanthropy is usually starts before a company is mired in scandal. It is something that a company leader talks about before unpleasant videos of them being an asshole are on TMZ. People tend to be able to see through bullshit and this effort by Uber is completely transparent.
- zethraeus 9y agoUber employee here: Give some thought to what you'd expect to see over time if the company genuinely had changed internally. Hold Uber to it. I suspect it'll meet that bar.
- djcapelis 9y agoYou don’t put a monetary value on non-cash donations in your press release for purely heartfelt philanthropy. Serious.
- jaredhansen 9y agoFortunately, food purchased as a PR move tastes just as good and is just as nutritious as the same food purchased out of heartfelt philanthropy. We care about what people think because we care about what people do.
- ovao 9y agoIn general, I don't believe it's necessary to distinguish one from the other. An organization can simply leverage the former to achieve the latter, can they not? Regardless of whether it's "heartfelt" or not, Meals on Wheels benefits equally.
