Outstanding Results Pty Ltd (Outstanding Results) designed a unique community giving program to raise the profile of charities in their local community called Centumate.
The charity benefits by building awareness in their community by using press, radio, TV and electronic press to make local businesses aware of the charity.
The Business commits to donating at least $20 per week, or $1040 per year. Each business is encouraged to engage their employees to either match the weekly donation or offset the weekly donation in partnership with their employer. The Australian Tax Office allows each employee to use salary sacrifice to minimise the impact on each employees take home pay.
The charity will be promoted to at least 650 businesses with the purpose of getting them to commit $20 per week to the charity. The goal is to get 100 businesses donating $1040 each or $104,000 per year.
The business will be encouraged to donate/sponsor the charity with an annual payment of $120 to offset administration costs charged by Outstanding Results to the charity.
The charity benefits by:
- Increased community awareness
- Regular press releases to press, radio, TV and electronic press
- Regular communication with local businesses
- Increased fund raising to cover infrastructure costs
- Potentially engaging additional volunteers to the charity
If just 10% of working Australians made a payroll/community charity donation of $5 each week, the Australian community would benefit by over $260 million each year.
