?? Workplace Giving Month!
June is Workplace Giving Month, a perfect opportunity to make a meaningful impact by signing up for workplace giving!
This initiative allows you to contribute directly to your favorite charities through automatic payroll deductions, making it a simple and efficient way to support important causes. By participating in workplace giving, you can help fund essential programs and services that make a real impact in our communities.
The benefits of workplace giving are clear. Did you know?
?? 81% of employees want to work for a company that has socially responsible business practices. (NonProfitPRO, 2023).
?? 86% of employees say that workplace giving programs make them proud to be part of their organization. (The Fred Hollows Foundation, 2024).
?? When staff are given options to choose where their donations go, they are 5x more likely to give. (Australian Communities Foundation, 2023)
By joining a workplace giving program, you not only support the causes you care about but also contribute to a positive and socially responsible workplace culture. Imagine the collective power of your contributions, combined with those of your colleagues, creating significant change and supporting vital initiatives. Whether it’s supporting health research, environmental conservation, or community development, your donations can make a real difference.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of something bigger. Sign up for workplace giving over the month of June and experience the pride and satisfaction that comes from knowing you are helping to create a better world, one paycheck at a time.
?? PRIDE Month!
June is also... (drumroll please) Pride Month!! Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ communities, recognize the hardship and obstacles each community has had to overcome and acknowledge the long road ahead.
This Pride Month, we invite you to support the vital work of organizations dedicated to the equality, love, support and well-being of LGBTQIA+ communities. Charities like Minus 18, The Pinnacle Foundation, and Open Doors are making a significant impact by providing essential resources, education, and support to LGBTQIA+ individuals.
While we love to celebrate, dance and wrap ourselves in the LGBTQIA+ flag - it's also important to acknowledge how much work still needs to be done.
