“Workplace Giving is a simple, yet powerful, way for employees and employers to help us to deliver services to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people in Victoria.”
“We’re excited to have recently entered into a Small Business partnership with Smiling Mind so that we can ensure our SME customers have access to tools and meditations specific to their needs.”
"Thanks to research conducted by our strategic partner, Good2Give, we know that our people are three times more likely to give when their donation is matched."
“On top of providing all-important donations, this initiative allowed us to celebrate Pinnacle’s support for the community – together with our affiliates and employees across the Group. We were also able to demonstrate Pinnacle’s commitment to actively promoting and directly funding the Foundation, as a critical conduit for effective and strategic giving.”
“It’s been scary to see the hardship, but it’s been incredibly rewarding to see the thank you emails coming through and know we’ve been able to support our most hard hit team members right across the Pacific region.”
“We’re certainly in the infancy stage of our workplace giving journey but so are most of our fundraising partners. We want to encourage them to do more of it – to tap into their supporters who could be giving through their workplace.”
“Workplace giving forms part of these partnerships and it’s an opportunity to continually broaden our engagement with the community. It’s also a reliable avenue of fundraising that chugs along in the background, allowing us to direct funds where we need them most.”
"We are really enjoying offering a workplace giving program, and are having some fun with it. We get all the staff together every couple of months to encourage people to give. Being able to support victims of the cyclone in Vanuatu and the earthquake Nepal made so easy using Good2Give’s Workplace Giving Platform. Feedback from staff has been really positive, particularly as the company matches employee donations."
“We’re looking to include more information about the Vita Group Foundation and ways to give in our induction processes and at other times throughout the year to maintain the momentum.”
“The charity I donate to is the Animal Welfare League of Queensland as animals are a pretty important part of my life. They send me an email every month to update me on what my contribution has helped do. You can see that if each and every one of us just does take that one act, what a difference that makes.”
“Make sure there is a strong alignment to what you want to achieve and what your potential partner can deliver. Charities, especially smaller ones, deliver community programs in specific ways, and it’s unreasonable to expect them to change how they work for a corporate partner. Also, we would encourage corporates to establish a framework, with KPIs, through which the partnership’s success can be measured so all parties are clear from the beginning on the partnership objectives.”
"We’re working with our team, encouraging them to get involved in our programs which is a great way for us to bring sustainability to life across the business.”
“Employees become an advocate for change within their workplace and it provides significant gain for Plan and the business. We are all building a safer and fairer world for all children.”
“Workplace giving donors are high value donors giving on average $70 a month, and when you add in company matching, this figure jumps to $120 a month. It’s really important that we thank our workplace givers for these generous donations and keep them informed as to the important work Caritas is doing.”
“Having a presence on Good2Give has opened us up to a wide range of corporates and employees that we may have not necessarily reached. Essentially it’s done the hard work for us!”
