In this critical analysis, I would first focus on the term corporate philanthropy, and then discuss the overall effects and success of this “one for one” initiative. First I would discuss corporate philanthropy. To regard such programs solely aimed at ameliorating underdeveloped communities would be naïve at best. We have to remember that businesses are still profit maximizing entities, thus such philanthropy exists to make the customers feel that their purchases are making a difference.

Religion in philanthropy and faith-based organizations have been frequently discussed in academic literature and research. Through this literature review, I will discuss the research on both. All major religions emphasize generosity to those in need. In Christianity, believers are called to love their neighbors (Seelarbokus, 2016). In Islam, there are the concepts of the zakat and sadaqua to care for those in need (Lambarra & Riener, 2015). Judaism stresses the importance of tithing to…

These churches…
