(NAME OF PROGRAM) celebrates the power of our people to make a difference to the community. Through this website you can give your time or money by making a pre-tax donation to charity, volunteer to work on a community project or fundraise with the support of your colleagues and family and friends.

Which (COMPANY NAME) employees and subsidiaries can participate in (NAME OF PROGRAM)?

The (NAME OF PROGRAM) program applies to all permanent and block time employees of (COMPANY NAME).

(NAME OF PROGRAM) is part of our commitment to support our people to make a difference in the community. We know that (COMPANY NAME)�s contribution to the community is an important part of attracting and retaining talented people. In addition, employee research has told us that you want choice when it comes to donating to a charity. That�s why we�ve partnered with GoodCompany to develop this website to make it easy for you to volunteer, fundraise and donate to the charity of your choice.

We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and strongly believe that we can help drive positive and sustainable changes in our local communities. Our goal is to involve XX% of our people in volunteering and XX% in donating during 20XX-20XX.

Together we can make a big difference.

For example:

If XXX employees participate in donating $5 per week to a charity �they will give a combined total of $YYY a year

Each of those employees will receive a charity gift voucher up to the value of $500 from (COMPANY NAME) to donate to a charity of their choice on the website which equates to an additional $YYYY

If a further XXX employees volunteer a day to work with a charity, (COMPANY NAME) will give each of them a $XXXcharity gift voucher which equates to $YYYYY

So, in this example, the total contribution to the community would be $ZZZ,ZZZ.

(NAME OF PROGRAM) is a one-stop-shop for all your donating, volunteering and fundraising needs.

We have responded to your feedback and introduced an �open� model of donating, which means you can donate to one or more of the thousands of charity projects.

You can research, identify and apply for volunteer opportunities through the (NAME OF PROGRAM) website which makes it easy to give your time to make a difference.

Best of all (COMPANY NAME) will match your donations up to $XXXX per annum.
