Approaches:

Most commonly Corporations are approached to contribute to a cause promotion being developed by a non-profit organization.
In some cases, the corporation decides to support a social cause and then reaches out to partners supporting the cause.
But in a few cases, the corporation may go it alone, developing and managing the campaign internally.
6. How is it different?
Cause related Marketing:
Contributions and support are not tied to company sales of specified products.
Social Marketing:
Focus is not on influencing individual behavior change.
Employee Volunteering:
Involves more than just participation of employees/volunteers.
