How your Company can help
Companies can support the Brain and Spine Foundation in a number of ways - this page has lots of ideas!
Why support the Brain and Spine Foundation?
What makes us different from other charities? Well, the huge range of conditions that the Foundation covers means that many staff will be able to relate to the cause - and our small size means that your support could make a real difference.
You can find out more about what we do in a Quick Guide to the Foundation.
If you'd like more information about supporting the Foundation, and how your support could help us, please contact Ken Walker on 020 7793 5900 or email ken.walker@brainandspine.org.uk
Matched Giving
Many companies now offer matched giving on the fundraising initiatives of their employees. What does that mean? Well, for example, you could offer to match the charitable fundraising of your employees, pound for pound. Or, as part of a Give As You Earn scheme, you could match any donations made by your employees pound for pound (with a cap on how much you match per person, if you wish). Matched funding is a fantastic way of rewarding the generosity of your employees, and it's a brilliant incentive to get them fundraising.
For more information on matched giving, please contact Ken Walker on 020 7793 5900 or email ken.walker@brainandspine.org.uk.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a quick, simple way to support the Foundation. It's easy to set up and any charity your employees support through the scheme will benefit from regular, tax efficient donations.
There is also another scheme where employees can donate the spare pennies from their monthly pay packet. If you think this might be of interest to your company, please visit www.penniesfromheaven.co.uk for more information.
Charity of the Year
Does your company have one? If so it would be fantastic if you could nominate the Brain and Spine Foundation. This is a great way of giving something back, and having fun in the process. How you support us throughout the year is up to you, but it's a great opportunity to involve employees in all sorts of activities, such as dress-down Fridays, sponsored events, cake sales and more!
If you would like to make us your Charity of the Year and need more information about the charity, or simply a few ideas to get you going, just contact Ken Walker by email on ken.walker@brainandspine.org.uk or by phone on 020 7793 5900.
Donations and grants
We have many projects which are looking for sponsorship from companies like yours. From putting your name to one of our fundraising events through to sponsoring one of our booklets.
