How Can I Show My Support?


Everyone is passionate about one or more charitable causes.
The most obvious way you can show your support for a charity
is by donating money.

Charities in Australia do a fantastic job, delivering their much-needed services 365 days a year. They also need our financial support, every day of the year.

We suggest you create your own regular giving plan. The first step is to set yourself a weekly giving goal. It may be $1, $2, $5, $20 or $100. Whatever your goal, put it into action. Spread the word and you will help raise $1,000’s for charity.

Can I Show My Support in Different Ways?

Of course. Fundraising is important to charities. You can show your support in many ways by donating:

Money

Set up a regular giving plan. We suggest you start by setting a weekly amount. Over 52 weeks, it will add up.

Time

Give your time. Volunteers are an important resource for all charities.

Products or Services

You may not have thought about this option. As a business, you may have stock that is valuable to a charity (to sell, or it could use itself). You can even donate your services (eg. legal, accounting, HR, travel, hospitality, maintenance).

Equity

What if your business was part owned by a Foundation (charity) ? For example, did you know that Bosch is 92% owned by a Foundation established by the founder, Robert Bosch. As a result, millions of dollars in profit every year is given away by the Bosch charitable foundation. We think that’s amazing. In Australia, Atlassian has made a similar commitment by giving 1% of annual profits, 1% of employee time, and 1% of company equity to their foundation.

There is a great opportunity, particularly for start-ups, to make a similar statement.
