business support

How can a business help?

In today's globalised economy, businesses can directly influence, for better or worse, the lives and environment of some of the poorest communities in the world.

Working with Progressio can provide mutual benefits. As well as supporting those whose lives have been blighted through poverty and injustice, it can generate positive publicity for your company and boost staff morale

These are just some examples of how we can work together:

Company support

Your company might have a charitable trust or foundation that could support our work. Alternatively you could nominate Progressio to become your company's Charity of the Year.

By publicly supporting our work, your company and staff could become important advocates of Progressio as well as raising much-needed funds.

Employee fundraising

Encouraging employees to undertake fundraising activities can be extremely rewarding for them and for your company. As well as raising money for Progressio, employees find fundraising motivating and it can enhance your company's public image. Fundraising initiatives might include taking part in a sponsored walk or run and holding events in aid of Progressio.

Payroll giving

Payroll giving is a tax efficient way of supporting our work directly from your salary. Usually 28p of every £1 that you earn goes on tax. If you pledge a gift from your salary then Progressio also receives your tax, making your donation go much further.

So for example, a donation of £3.85 a month to us would generate a total of £5.00 at no extra cost to the individual.

Secondment

Seconding a member of staff with the right skills for a specific task is another way for a company to support the work of Progressio.
