The giving season isn’t just a time for individuals to give back to their communities. Businesses and nonprofits can get involved together for the greater good as well, all while helping to foster company-wide health and happiness. Take a look at some great ways to participate in the giving season with your business or nonprofit this year!
Volunteering
One of the best ways to get involved is through volunteer work. To get started, find an organization that you and your employees are truly passionate about. Do you and your employees share a love for children? Consider finding a great volunteer gig for a children’s hospital. If not, maybe there is something aligned with your industry that can spark the giving spirit in your group. For instance, a glasses company may look to help charities dedicated to visual impairments. Either way, a great incentive to get everyone involved is by putting your money where your mouth is. Offer an extra day off to anyone who joins your volunteer outing to give to your employees as well as to your community.
Toy Donations
If time is of the essence at your company and you don’t have time to volunteer, there are other ways to come together to give back. Start a toy collection box (or boxes, hopefully you’ll need more than one) so that your employees can bring in toys to be donated. Use this list to decide where you should donate new and used toys near you.
Giving season isn’t the only time your company or nonprofit can get involved for the greater good. One of the best ways to give back to our world year round is being a sustainable company. If you want to foster a more sustainable workplace, these tips can help you get started. If you’re already on the sustainability path, these advanced strategies for making your business green can be the extra push you need to become 100% sustainable. Lastly, who you partner with matters! It is not only important for your company or nonprofit to practice sustainability, but also those you work with. Do you have green telecom?
