Give the gift of giving to your employees this holiday season (and hopefully all year round!) with employee giving vouchers from Crowdfunder. What makes our solution different is that your employees can donate not only to their local area, but also to projects particularly close to their hearts. We started above a surf shop in Newquay and since then, we’ve helped raise over £5M for Cornwall alone.
How It Works
Once you’ve purchased your employee giving vouchers, we’ll distribute them to your team through whichever method you chose and they’ll receive their voucher within minutes. Once it reaches their inbox, all they need to do is sign in or sign up to our platform and pick a project. The voucher automatically applies itself at checkout, so it couldn’t be simpler. We’ve also found that these vouchers often turn into more than just money, as many continue supporting those projects with their time and support long into the future.
Why It’s Important
It’s vital that we create a strong circular economy in Cornwall, where people support businesses and businesses feed back into the community. While charity partnerships are incredibly important, employee engagement gets a real boost when people can support causes that mean something to them personally. Whether that’s protecting our coastlines because they love to surf or backing the local hospital because it helped a family member, this small gesture means a lot.
Where We Began
Crowdfunder began above a surf shop in Newquay, with the aim of supporting grassroots projects and helping create change. Today, we’re the UK’s leading crowdfunding platform, having raised over £350 million for projects tackling everything from climate change to community spaces. Along the way, organisations like Aviva, British Airways and Cornwall Council – to name just a few – have joined us as partners to deliver their giving programmes through our platform. Making it easy for people to support their local communities is exactly what we set out to do, and we’d love your help doing it.
Ready to Give It a Go?
Employee giving vouchers are straightforward to set up and a proven way to increase engagement. Your employees get to support causes close to their hearts, Cornwall gets funding for brilliant local projects, and your business builds a culture where people feel connected.
