How your company can help

There are so many ways your business can support us. Corporate fundraising is a brilliant way to demonstrate your commitment to the community to your customers and clients as well as engage your staff in a local charity and to. There are many benefits to your organisation too such as positive publicity, a chance to build connections and reach potential new customers or repeat clients, possible tax reductions and boosting employee morale.

There are many ways you can get involved.

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a simple, no cost way of supporting Carers in Hertfordshire. It’s easy to set up and enables your staff to give on a regular basis through their pay. Even better, the money they donate is tax free. The benefit for us is it provides a regular and sustainable income, giving us more security and the ability to plan ahead.

Partnerships such as Charity of the Year

Choosing us as your Charity of the Year or Charity Partner is a fantastic way of illustrating your dedication to a local charity. It can unite your staff or members in engaging and rewarding fundraising.

We will support you in all your fundraising endeavours, inspiring you with ideas and providing all the tools you need to raise some seriously impressive funds for Carers in Hertfordshire. Plus we will work with you to generate publicity about the work your company are doing for us.

You can find out about our charity partners on the Charity of the Year Partnerships page. 

Hold an event or take part in one

Your business or staff could organise events such as a cake sale, sponsored pedometer challenge or take part in a range or organised events such as runs, bike rides or other physical challenges and raise sponsorship in the process. We are happy to give you fundraising tips and can provide a sponsorship form.

Gifts in Kind

It isn’t all about the money. You can help us by donating equipment, food, services or expertise. Alternatively, you may be able to provide us access to a venue free of charge where we can hold a fundraising activity or event for carers.

You could also sign up to support the Carers’ Passport Discount Card by offering unpaid carers a discount.

We are always in need of great prizes to give away at auctions and raffles, many of which can generate much more than their actual value.

Matched Giving

You can increase the value of your employee’s gift by matching their gift and can put a cap on the gift so that you maintain control. Many companies find this a great way to support and incentivise staff both in their fundraising and their work. It also sends out a positive message to your colleagues, customers and suppliers.

Promotions

Cause Related Marketing has become an increasingly important element of any company’s activities and is a great way for local and national companies to support us. For example you could donate a percentage or set amount from a product/service sold.
