The statement that corporate donations are increasingly being made directly to non-profit organizations is incorrect. The trend is actually towards corporations becoming more directly involved in the projects they fund, and towards the use of foundations to manage and administer corporate giving. There is also an increased focus on accountability for non-profit organizations, but this statement is true. Additionally, CSR is increasingly viewed as a way to address social problems in society.
