           Examples: “Corporate Partnership” case studies
   from 99 Best Ever Fundraising and Earned Income Projects Vol.1

  Corporate adopts charity

    + The real estate franchise group L. J. Hooker adopted the
      charity Cystic Fibrosis two years ago as its corporate
      charity.
    + In the first year of the relationship, Hookers launched the
      Ultimate Garage Sale, and invited everyone in the community to
      drop off unused - but saleable - items at their 600 local
      offices.
    + This initiative raised $185,000, which was boosted with a
      corporate donation of $50,000.
    + This year they hope to at least surpass that success,
      particularly as the company has organised a charity house to
      be built in Brisbane with donated materials.
    + When auctioned, this charity house should generate a surplus
      of $50,000 which will also go to Cystic Fibrosis.

 Companies use charities for publicity

    + There is a growing trend for companies to use charities to
      generate publicity - with or without the consent of the
      charity.
    + The franchise hairdressing chain Just Cuts took a more
      responsible attitude and earned enormous publicity throughout
      NSW with its promotion to donate $1 to charity for every
      haircut in its salons on a Saturday in February.
    + Their PR firm went to work and - by using photos from local
      salons - was able to get exposure for Just Cuts in various
      local newspapers.
    + 64 salons participated and $25,000 was raised for the Sydney
      Children’s Hospital at Randwick.

              Examples: “Community Focus” case studies
   from 99 Best Ever Fundraising and Earned Income Projects Vol.1

  Celebrity chefs pool talents

    + The annual luncheon catered by the Great Chefs of Adelaide
      raises over $50,000 for the Archbishop’s Appeal, and its
      beneficiary Anglicare.
    + Most of the fine wine and food is donated, the chefs give
      their time for free, as do students from the Regency Hotel
      School - who do the support cooking and act as waiters for the
      300+ guests.
    + The event is held on a Sunday at the Adelaide Town Hall and is
      marketed to those who like to have a long Sunday lunch with
      friends.

 Opportunity in credit card over-ride

    + If you have a large number of affluent supporters on your
      database, credit card income could be of interest to you.
    + For example, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
      to Animals offers Amex credit cards to its database of 70,000
      names.
    + Amex will then pay a usage fee back to the animal welfare
      agency.
    + The numbers work like this – if 5% of names take up the offer,
      and if they each spend $10,000 a year on their card, and if
      Amex pays 0.25% on usage, then the RSPCA will earn $87,500
      annually.
    + However the demographics of the RSPCA supporter base are
      unlikely to support these figures – firstly a typical
      supporter is unlikely to be in an age group that would be keen
      to accept another credit card, secondly they are unlikely to
      spend $10,000 annually on credit.
    + All marketing expenses are met by Amex, and there is no
      breaching of Privacy Code legislation because you are
      marketing to your own members.
    + Save the Children, AIDS Trust, and the Starlight Children’s
      Foundation are also part of a growing number of community
      business enterprises that offer a branded credit card issued
      by American Express.
