Australian companies are now realising that good corporate citizenship also makes good business sense.
73% of Australians say they would prefer to buy a product associated with a good cause, if its quality was the same. 49% said they would switch brands to do so. (The Common Good, State Chamber of Commerce)
Other benefits of being a good corporate citizen include:
- Improved recruitment and retention
- Increased staff morale
- Creation of new business networks and contacts
- Reduced exposure to risk.
Mutual benefit
RIDBC recognises that for a corporate partnership to work successfully, it has to be of benefit to both organisations. Some of our corporate partnership options include:
- Corporate sponsorship - sponsoring one of our events, capital project or programs project can help enhance your reputation and contribute to the education of deaf or blind children.
- Adopt us - adopt RIDBC as your company's charity of choice and involve your employees in the fun of fundraising.
- Corporate donation - corporate donations are a tax-effective way of making a major contribution to RIDBC’s work.
- Payroll giving – employees often appreciate the chance to make a difference through regular payroll giving, especially when their contributions are matched by their company.
- Volunteering – contribute in a hands-on way, donating the time and skills of your employees either for specific projects, or even to help keep our grounds up to scratch for people with vision impairment.
- Gifts in-kind – in-kind contributions of goods or services reduce RIDBC’s running costs, allowing us to plough more funding back into services for children.
To discuss a possible corporate contribution for your company, please contact RIDBC’s Community Relations and Fundraising Manager on (02) 9872 0333.
