Without a team of such committed and dedicated companies behind us, we couldn't achieve the goals ahead of us. A huge thank you goes to each and every one of them. How about you come on board too?
Charity of the Year
We would love it if you chose us to be your charity of the year. You can really make a difference and help kids in hospitals around the country by jumping on board and working with us to raise oodles of cash.
Employee fundraising
Why not get your staff involved and have fun at the same time, by organising fundraising activities, from car washing, to organising a rugby match. Just use your imagination and skills to raise some money.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship is a fantastic way to support the AF Foundation whilst achieving a route to market and generate brand awareness amongst your customers and our supporters. We would love you to help us out by sponsoring one of our events or activities and align your brand with our important cause.
Fundraising Events
Every year we have exciting regular events and fundraising initiatives which you can sponsor, putting your brand at the heart of the event, providing excellent opportunities to support the AF Foundation whilst helping towards achieving your corporate social responsibility and marketing objectives. there are a number of ways in which you could support us through sponsorship. You may want to be associated with a high profile event, or perhaps a community based event or activity would better suit your brand.
Marketing partnerships
A partnership with The AF Foundation can support your marketing objectives, drive your sales and help us to make a huge difference to so many children.
Research from Business in the Community shows that 86% of consumers are more likely to buy a product that is associated with a cause or issue and 73% of consumers agree that they would switch brands for the same reason.
Cause Related Marketing (CRM) campaigns work - they maintain customer loyalty, encourage a positive brand awareness and impact on how your customers relate to and perceive your brand.
Working with The AF Foundation can help you to:
- Increase sales
- Enhance consumer loyalty and emotional engagement with your brand
- Provide differentiation from competitors
- Enhance your corporate image
- Reinforce your credentials as a socially responsible brand
- Reach our current supporters and engage with new audiences, both niche and mass market
Payroll Giving
An easy way to donate is to 'give as you earn'. Ask your employees to give a regular donation each month to help us, which is also a simple and tax efficient way to contribute.
Payroll Giving is a way for your employees to make regular payments to The AF Foundation directly from their pay. People who receive their company/personal pension through PAYE (Pay As You Earn) can participate too.
Payments that your employees make through a Payroll Giving Scheme are deducted from their pay before tax is deducted. This means that employees are given tax relief on their donation immediately - and at their highest rate of tax.
It's easy to set up a Payroll Giving Scheme for your business. There's little in the way of cost and administration, and you'll probably be able to adapt your existing payroll system to operate the scheme.
Donations and gifts in kind
There are of course other ways you can help us out, other than fundraising. You can always support us by donating products, discounted services or professional skills, or even make a one off donation.
One off Donation
Every penny we receive goes towards achieving our goals of ensuring children across the UK are able to have access to state-of-the-art physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Donate a product or service
Gifts in kind can help save valuable resources and enable us to fundraise even more effectively, meaning that even more money can be spent on improving, building and developing Children's rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Matched giving
Match your employees' fundraising efforts and be sure to give them a real boost.
By matching pound for pound what your employees give, whether it is part of payroll giving or raising money in other ways, it is a fantastic way of supporting us and your employees in their fundraising activities.
Businesses have the flexibility to put a cap on how much is matched per employee, and better still the funds that your business donates won't be taxed.
