Get Your Workplace Involved in Fundraising.
For organisations that want to give back to their community, Guide Dogs NSW/ACT offers a range of partnership opportunities. Guide Dogs can help your business achieve employee engagement, Environmental, Social and Governance Statement (ESG), accessibility, diversity and inclusion, and community impact goals. Guide Dogs can partner with businesses to deliver workplace giving, employee fundraising, volunteering and community impact programs.
How can your workplace volunteer or fundraise for Guide Dogs NSW/ACT?
One way to give back is through corporate volunteering. This gives employees the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while gaining a deeper understanding of the impact their support can have on the community.
At Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, corporate volunteers have supported our teams with a variety of practical projects, including:
- Packing Christmas cards
- Preparing donor mail-outs
- Assembling campaign materials
- Assisting with other important behind-the-scenes activities
These volunteer days offer more than just hands-on support. Employees can learn about the work of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, hear first-hand from people who have benefited from our services, gain insights into accessibility and inclusion, and spend time meeting some of our Guide Dogs and puppies in training.
Whether helping prepare fundraising campaigns, supporting administrative projects or contributing to large-scale mail fulfilment activities, corporate volunteers play an important role in helping us reach supporters, raise vital funds and deliver life-changing services for people with low vision or blindness.
You can even support our dogs on their journey.
Many organisations choose to deepen their impact through dog sponsorship opportunities. Corporate partners can help support the breeding, raising, training and care of future Guide Dogs, giving employees a tangible connection to the life-changing work their organisation helps make possible.
For example, organisations such as Celestino Developments have supported Guide Dogs through dog sponsorship. Thanks to their sponsorship, School Support Dog Rocky, is helping make a difference to staff and students at Hawksbury High School.
