Giving as a group, enables a greater impact than might alone. Long term connection can be formed with recipient organization's non-profit, community or social. Giving is powerful for the person giving as much as the recipient. Research shows that people benefit both emotionally and physically through giving and volunteering. Social connection assists in turning generous behaviour into positive feelings for the giver. Giving as a group rather than as an individual leads to the greatest feelings of happiness for the giver. Increased employee happiness relates directly to engagement and effective work. Many individuals who have participated in such programs go on to join giving circles or develop a habit of giving as a result of giving powerful positive effects.

When employees participate in an organised giving program, there is usually a process of learning and engagement as a group. Research shows that well structured giving and volunteering programs could deliver returns to the businesses by reducing training and development costs.
