Help Business Report recognize the Capital Region’s most charitable companies

August 1, 2026 - 04:25

Baton Rouge Business Report is putting together a fresh ranking of the most charitable companies in the Capital Region, and local businesses are being asked to step forward. The publication is now gathering data for its December philanthropy edition, which will spotlight the scale and impact of corporate giving across the area.

Organizations interested in being considered will need to provide details on their total cash donations and in-kind contributions. The goal is to create a clear picture of which companies are making the biggest difference in the community, whether through direct financial support, product donations, or volunteer hours.

The final list will rank businesses based on the overall value of their charitable efforts. This is not just about writing a check; it also recognizes companies that give time, goods, and services to local nonprofits and causes. For many firms, this is a chance to show that their commitment to the region goes beyond the bottom line.

Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to participate. The survey process is designed to be straightforward, and the deadline for submissions is approaching. Those who want to be included in the December feature should reach out to the Business Report team as soon as possible to get the necessary forms and instructions.

This ranking is expected to be a valuable resource for the community, offering a closer look at the companies that are quietly powering local charities and community programs. It also gives businesses a chance to benchmark their own giving against peers and to be publicly recognized for their generosity. The December edition will be distributed to the publication's full readership, giving participating companies wide visibility.
