Ways to help as an Organisation
Organisations play a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the stem cell donor registry. By leveraging your resources and influence, your organisation can make a significant difference in the lives of patients in need. Every organisation-backed action helps create a broader movement, amplifying the impact of individual efforts.
Employee donor drives
Organise donor drives within your company to encourage employees to register as stem cell donors. Setting up registration booths in common areas or hosting swabbing events can make it easy for employees to join the registry.
Provide paid leave for donors
Offer paid leave to any employee who is selected as a donor for their donation. This policy not only supports the donor through the process but also encourages more employees to register, knowing they have the company’s backing.
Lunch & learns
Host informational sessions during lunch breaks where employees can learn about the importance of stem cell donation and how they can get involved. These sessions can include presentations from Stem Cell Donors Australia representatives and personal stories from donors and recipients.
Corporate challenges
Set up friendly competitions between departments or teams to see who can recruit the most donors. Offer incentives or recognition for the team that signs up the most new donors, fostering a sense of camaraderie and purpose.
Workplace giving
Implement a workplace giving program where employees can make regular donations directly from their payroll to support Stem Cell Donors Australia. Matching employee donations can further incentivise participation and demonstrate your company’s commitment to the cause.
Brand partnerships
Collaborate with Stem Cell Donors Australia on brand partnerships to raise awareness and recruit donors. This can include co-branded marketing campaigns, product tie-ins, or joint events that highlight your support for stem cell donation.
Charity of choice
Select Stem Cell Donors Australia as your company’s charity of choice. This designation can include regular donor recruitment drives, and public endorsement of our mission, helping to raise awareness and recruit donors.
Host community events
Leverage your company’s presence and resources to host community events that promote stem cell donation. These events can range from family-friendly activities to educational seminars, providing a platform for wider community engagement.
Leverage corporate media channels
Utilise your company’s internal and external communication channels to spread awareness about stem cell donation. Share information through newsletters, intranet sites, social media, and other corporate media to reach a broader audience.
Advocacy and policy support
Support advocacy efforts by engaging with policymakers and encouraging legislation that promotes stem cell donation. Your company’s voice can be powerful in driving policy changes that benefit the registry and patients.
By taking these actions, your organisation can significantly contribute to increasing the number of stem cell donors and supporting our mission. Corporate involvement not only demonstrates social responsibility but also unites employees around a meaningful cause.
