To mobilise company giving…
…for the benefit of small charities working with children
An Overview
Raise Your Hands exists to increase the impact of exceptional small charities. We seek out and screen our charities. Then we build a relationship and monitor their progress.
Dot Impact is our way of sharing this expertise with companies that want to do charitable giving differently.
Dot Impact enables companies to:
1) Demonstrate a genuine focus on social impact
2) Engage their staff in the process
3) Scale charitable giving with limited resource input
Dot Impact Companies
Companies face challenges
- Understanding the charitable sector requires time and insight. Monitoring impact isn’t straightforward
- It’s not always cost efficient to set up an in-house CSR department
- Communicating charitable endeavour both internally and externally requires resource
…that are more pressing than ever
“90% of MBAs prefer working for organisations committed to social impact.”
(Stanford Graduate School of Business Survey)
- Social and commercial goals have become entwined, whether it’s recruiting the best staff or external visibility
- A positive work culture helps employee motivation, cohesion and retention, but one size doesn’t fit all
How it works: The Core Offering
Each Dot Impact company makes a donation to the RYH charity platform.
Then, we help build a social cause within your company and bring charitable giving to life with robust data and engaging storytelling.
This includes detailed due diligence for each charity and impact reporting that collates data and tracks progress points.
We also produce curated content tailored to your channels, such as a feed of content for your social media or bespoke newsletter style updates.
Each donation made to Raise Your Hands has an amplified social impact.
Additional offerings
On top of the core partnership, we are able to offer a number of options, depending on your social impact objectives:
1) Innovations in fundraising
Staff take part in our cutting edge challenges, such as Midnight Madness, and raise additional funds.
2) Employee social impact
We design a programme of events and volunteering to get staff engaged more directly.
3) Charities up close
We can also organise more traditional team building days with individual charities on our platform.
