	It gives companies, who normally do not donate money to charities, an attractive, new and economically viable strategic direction in funding their philanthropic efforts. Traditionally, corporate philanthropy has involved giving money to charities and receiving recognition. With ARP companies will have an opportunity for strategic philanthropy without any cash investment.
	As ARP will donate funds to a nominated charity for every re-useable mobile phone a company donates, it acts as a virtually cost-free and hassle-free support mechanism for a company's charitable giving programs.

	ARP enhances or builds the company's image as an environmentally responsible organisation.
	For companies which locate public collection boxes or ARP satchel dispenses in their stores to collect phones for charitable endeavors, it demonstrates corporate responsibility. Further it also makes good business sense as it helps build a customer base by bringing in people into stores and providing customers and potential customers with a way to feel good about themselves and the company/store and who they do business with. Further the consumer may be apt to make a purchase while dropping off their handset or picking up a Pre-Paid satchel.
	The high profile nature of the ARP initiative helps in strengthening the company's brand. The charitable and environmental implications of such a project are a great advantage from the public relations point of view.
	ARP provides an opportunity for companies to improve better employee relations and increased staff motivation and morale. Employees whose companies have cause-related programs are 38 percent more likely to say they are proud of their company's values than employees whose companies do not have such programs.
	ARP provides opportunity for companies to empower employees with volunteerism opportunities. Getting staff involved in fundraising by donating their office or personal mobile phone is a low-cost way to build team spirit, individual responsibility and company loyalty. Employees can take part in a range of fundraising initiatives organised by their charity they support or use their ingenuity and imagination to create their own.
	ARP is a simple and easy fundraising program to implement. As ARP will provide coordination, handle all the logistics, provide collection and Starter Kits, it will be easy for companies to participate and realize the benefits of their philanthropic efforts.
