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.
-
Other ways of company-supported volunteering

Rewarding and motivating staff through award schemes
