Charity of the year partnerships

Many companies like to choose a different charity to support each year. The charity in question benefits from the companies various fundraising efforts throughout the year. Our experienced team will work with you to create a package – tailored to your specific needs. We would be delighted to come into your company and explain what it is we do and how your fundraising will help us provide much needed operations for children with severe orthopedic deformities.

Sponsorship & Donations:

Some companies like to just make a once off donation to a charity of their choice without organising any type of event. Many companies make a donation instead of buying gifts at Christmas for their clients. We can provide a letter and receipt, which can be sent with a Christmas card stating a donation has been made in lieu of gifts.

Matched & Tax Effective Giving:

Some companies are willing to match what a member of staff has managed to raise through sponsorship. If your company operates a matching gift scheme we can provide you with any necessary information or fill in any forms required. A company is able to claim tax back from donations above €250.00 e.g. ABC Ltd makes a company donation of €250 to Straight Ahead and receives a receipt. ABC Ltd can then claim a deduction for the donation as if it were a trading expense. ABC Ltd pays corporation tax at 20% so their corporation tax bill is reduced by €250×20%=€50]
