This section describes several different ways in which companies can involve their employees in supporting the work of the non-profit sector. It includes the following methods:
- Arranging a regular financial contribution from employees through a ‘Give As You Earn' programme. Many companies offer to match the amount of money donated by staff, thereby doubling the contributions raised for selected NPOs.
- Encouraging staff to volunteer by offering to match the amount of time volunteered with a cash donation. This is called the Matched Giving programme.
- Assisting staff volunteering activities through giving time off during office hours, and providing material support and transport.
- Rewarding and motivating staff through award schemes.
Several examples of the ways in which the employees of different corporates in South Africa have helped NPOs working in the field of HIV and AIDS are described.
