Companies can double
the fundraising efforts of their staff by matching the funds
raised.
Why
Gift Match?
Gift Matching benefits
both the staff and the employer. Research has shown Gift Matching
builds a positive team spirit; boosts self-esteem for the
participants; and is a great way to recognise the group effort.
How
does it work?
Last year, the staff
from Westpac Bank held a ‘Fun Dress Friday’ where
the staff made a donation to forego wearing their uniform
and wear ‘casuals’. The funds were then matched
by the bank and donated to Lifeline WA.
It was a great way
for the Westpac Bank to recognise the terrific community spirit
of their staff.
Lifeline
WA thanks everyone who has been involved in staff fundraising
and gift matching.
