Realized Worth recognized that practitioners face barriers in the area of corporate volunteering and giving due to limited resources, issues of scale, inconsistent global policy and legislative frameworks, and limited data to gain buy in and commitments from senior and mid-level managers. Founded by Realized Worth, the RW Institute (RWI) is an association of stakeholders who are committed to innovative projects, research, analysis and public policy change that removes existing barriers and promotes the practice and theory of corporate volunteering on a global scale.
