It’s time to support the community that supports you! Check out these ways your business can give back to charity and make mindful contributions today.
Your business relies on community support to stay afloat. Show appreciation by giving back to nonprofit organizations and local charities. Read about the ways your business can give back to charity. Then, select your preferred methods.
Hold Donation Drives
Hold donation drives in your workplace and encourage people to donate goods. Partner with food banks, homeless shelters, and schools to reach goals. Some essential items to donate to charities in your community include blankets and dental hygiene products.
Nonprofit organizations serve community members but don’t have large budgets to cover the cost of supplies. Talk to organization leaders and ask them about their needs. Then, work with your employees (and other community members) to supply the right stuff!
Sponsor Local Events
Sponsor a local event like a youth sports game, a nonprofit fundraiser, or a back-to-school drive. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with your community while serving the members. Local events are good places to advertise your business. Hand out business cards, set up booths, and give out branded gear. Not only do you support charities, but you also raise brand awareness. Become a memorable and positive business in the area.
Take on Pro Bono Work
Your business can give back to charity by taking on pro bono work. Use your services and designate time and resources to tackle projects for free. For example, a boutique marketing agency can build a website for a local charity or create flyers for upcoming events.
Legal and health-based services are other examples. Perhaps you own a law firm and offer free legal consultations to those in need. Maybe you operate a medical practice and schedule free health screenings. Ultimately, use your expertise to help the community.
Volunteer Your Time
Schedule volunteer activities for you and your employees. If your budget permits, take a group day off and support a local charity.
Although monetary donations are helpful, nonprofit organizations appreciate volunteers. They rely on people to fulfill tasks like serving meals, organizing school supplies, and facilitating activities. Interact with your employees while supporting charities.
Create a Charity Budget
Do you have room in your budget for charity donations? If so, create a charity budget. Allocate a portion of quarterly funds toward foundations. Choose youth organizations, nonprofits, and local charities to support their cause. You can also give back to foundations close to your employees’ hearts!
