How your organisation can support Northcott:

Payroll/Workplace Giving

As an individual, we often feel that a small donation won’t make any difference. However, through workplace giving you join the growing family of Northcott supporters whose combined donations make a significant contribution each year to help improve the lives of people with a disability.

If 100 employees donated $5 each week then your organisation would raise $26,000 each year and if donations were matched by your employer then your organisation would raise $52,000 each year. Also remember: If you donate $5 per week before tax then you are only paying $3 per week (assuming a marginal tax rate of 23.4%).

Workplace giving offers an efficient and tax-effective way of donating as employees receive their tax deduction at the time the donation is made; this is then recorded in the employee’s payment summary. Workplace giving is a great opportunity for your employees to support your values and the wider community. As an employer you can also match dollar for dollar donated by staff to demonstrate your corporate social responsibility.

Corporate Volunteering

Many of Northcott’s services need the help of dedicated volunteers throughout the year. By helping out at one of our sports carnivals, or getting your hands dirty in the gardens of one of our respite centres, volunteering is a great way to make a tangible difference to Northcott. In addition, volunteering can be a fantastic team-building exercise for your staff and can lead to a more intimate understanding of Northcott’s services and our clients’ needs.

Sponsorship and Donations

Many businesses commit a small percentage of their annual profits to donate back to the community. Northcott offers a range of services across NSW and the ACT, all of which need your support. Financial contributions can come to Northcott as either a general donation, or the sponsorship of a specific service. Whether you are interested in respite care, recreation services or early childhood support, contributing directly to one of Northcott’s services will make a substantial difference to the lives of our clients. However you wish to help, Northcott works hard to ensure that the support of our benefactors is fully and gratefully acknowledged.

Cause-Related Marketing

Cause-related marketing is one of the most effective ways to link your company with the positive message of supporting the community. By donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of one of your products or services, you can increase sales volume while raising significant funds for Northcott. Recent evidence suggests that, considering similar products in terms of price and quality, 77% of consumers would prefer to purchase a product associated with a cause, and would switch from their normal brand.

There are many ways to create and implement a cause-related marketing campaign – please call us to discuss exciting opportunities to boost your corporate reputation and brand image!

Gifts In Kind

Your business may be able to provide us with services or resources free of charge that can assist our bottom line. Whether it is accountancy, insurance, fleet management, gardening, air conditioning, cleaning or IT, Northcott is always in need of resources and equipment. If you think you have something that could be of use to Northcott, please get in contact with our Partnerships Manager.
