GET YOUR WORKPLACE INVOLVED
Do you think that your fellow co-workers would also like to help build a more equitable world where all children have access to food, shelter and an education? As companies receive tax credits for their charitable donations it is not difficult to introduce a social responsibility program into a company. The Make Child Poverty History initiative began when members of the WSI board decided it was time to take a more active role, on a more global scale with the goal to end child poverty one village at a time.
This action list will get you started:
|
• |
Begin a Company Outreach program. |
|
• |
Form a small group and identify the cause you would most like to help i.e. Make Child Poverty History. |
|
• |
Build a proposal for your executive management committee requesting their support to match any contributions that the employees make. Ensure you outline the tax benefits and the goodwill benefits to your company. |
|
• |
Hold an internal event to announce your Outreach program and invite your business network. |
|
• |
Create a website where your clients, business partners and social network can learn about your cause. |
|

Hold regular awareness and fundraising events. |
