We're In The Top 10% Of Business Donors For Work For Good
This time last year, we gave a presentation at Enterprise Nation’s Start Up 2019 Event. Sam Douglas and I spoke about how to brand your business and how your values and mission statement should be a central pillar to your brand identity.
After the presentation, we went to the ‘advisor zone’, and we were dishing out free advice to help brands find their true values, when we realised, that we didn’t REALLY know ours.
We felt like hypocrites. Preaching to the choir but not knowing any of the words to our songs. We knew we wanted to create beautiful brands and websites for businesses, but what were our core values?
In the lunchtime lull of the advisor zone, we got chatting to a few of the other advisors. (Funnily enough, we actually built a website for one of the advisors partners who was sat next to us a month later.)
A lady from Work For Good approached me and told me about the scheme and I was intrigued. It’s a fundraising platform which helps small businesses easily donate money to charity.
“If your business wants to donate through your sales, and publicise this to your customers or clients, you are legally required to set up a commercial participation agreement with each charity.
This can cause barriers for both business owners and charities due to limited time and resources and this is where Work for Good can help.”
I thought that was an excellent idea, and that was definitely something that aligned with one of Studio 77’s core values - giving back to the community.
We want to be able to empower others through our work and leave a lasting mark, not just a good website!
So since July 2019, we have been pledging to donate £150 for every website project that comes through our doors. Our aim is to raise £3,000 for Friends of The Earth by the end of 2020, and we’re currently on target!
With £1,100 already raised, we’re right on schedule, and we found out this morning that we are in the top 10% of business donors in the Work For Good scheme!
If you’re interested in signing up for Work For Good, then I would highly recommend you do so. You can pledge any amount, you could pledge a percentage of your profits or just a lump sum of £100, it doesn’t have to be anything colossal, donations of all sizes are welcome. Plus there is a plethora of charities that you can choose to donate to, you can even pick ten charities and then let your customers decide who they’d like their donations to go to.
If you sign up using my referral code, 55M6NJQP, as a thank you, Work For Good make a donation to our chosen charity! It’s a Win/Win/Win situation!
You can keep updated with our progress over on our Work For Good profile.
