Charity checkouts (CCs) are a recent fundraising technique blending corporate and individual donor support. They involve a unique triadic structure between businesses, customers and nonprofits. More specifically, CCs describe an online or offline shopping situation in which companies solicit customers to donate a small amount of money while checking out. Despite their success, CCs face critical voices and concerns. This study systematically reviews academic and grey literature, with the goal to delineate (potential) downsides comprehensively. This research aids nonprofits and businesses engaged in CC triads in making informed decisions for a sustainable growth of their fundraising and CSR strategy. Beyond its practical implications, this study contributes to the limited academic literature on CCs.

The infusion of art undoubtedly enhances brand perception, particularly for luxury brands that seek to reinforce prestige and exclusivity. On the other hand, philanthropy is a powerful tool to improve brand image by demonstrating the brand's genuine commitment to the common good and strengthening its symbolic value. Thus, for luxury brands, artification-based philanthropy can be challenging due to the contradiction between the goal of philanthropic activity and the essence of luxury and exclusivity reinforced by art. Through in-depth qualitative interviews with managers and analysis of internal documents, we investigated the Vendemmia d’artista project as an excellent example of how different initiatives can overcome this contradiction. Particularly, these initiatives include engaging in meaningful dialogue with stakeholders and the public, firmly establishing a strong connection with the brand identity, and committing to long-term engagement with artists and the Solomon R.

Key findings reveal that Florim's artification is supported by a top–down governance approach that reflects corporate values. A trust-based partnership between Florim and collaborating artists further enhances the cultural authenticity of the artification process. Artification is also an inside–out process underpinned by physical artworks that enrich the workplace environment and promote employee well-being, aligning with corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives. The process operates through concentric engagement, starting internally with employees and extending to visitors and the local community.
