Hi everyone,
We are excited to announce a new initiative in observation of International Day of Charity on September 5th this year.
The International Day of Charity was officially declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, recognizing the importance of charitable efforts in addressing global challenges and promoting social development. It is a day to raise awareness about the incredible impact that charitable acts can have on the lives of those in need.
To mark this special occasion, we have decided to introduce a company matching program to encourage and support our employees' charitable endeavors. Starting from September 5th, for every dollar donated by an employee to a registered, designated charity, the company will match the donation up to [INSERT $ AMOUNT], effectively doubling the impact of our collective efforts.
In addition to the company matching program, we would also like to involve all of you in deciding which cause to support for the year. We are opening up the floor for suggestions. Please take a moment to think about a cause close to your heart and share it with us in reply to this email. We will hold a vote to determine the cause that our team will commit to donating to for the year on [DATE].
Some categories to consider include:
- Mental Health
- Environment & Sustainability
- Children's Literacy & Education
- Homeless Shelters
- Domestic Abuse
- Drug & Alcohol Programs
- LGBTQIA+
- Cancer Research
- Diabetes Research
- Refugee Transition Support
Remember, this is an opportunity for us to come together as a team and make a lasting impact on the lives of others. Let us use our collective resources and passion for good to bring about positive change in society.
We encourage you all to reflect on the importance of charity and explore ways in which you can contribute to this noble cause. Whether it's volunteering your time, donating to a charity, or participating in local initiatives, every small act of kindness counts.
Thank you for your continued dedication and support in making our workplace a compassionate and socially responsible environment. Together, we can make a difference!
Thank you,
