Corporate partners make a crucial contribution to our work while being associated with Oxfam’s recognised and respected name. We would like to say a big thank you to current partners Tonkin & Taylor who are a key supporter of our Oxfam Water for Survival Programme and Naked Organics who are contributing money to assist our work training organic farmers in the Pacific.
We also are grateful to Winnla, an internet based company, who are donating regularly and raising awareness of Oxfam internationally.
Being good is also good for business. The Stillwater/AC Nielsen report “Good as Gold” found some important facts about New Zealanders: 85% tend to think more highly of companies that support charities; 82% say they would be more likely to buy products or services from a company that supports a worthy cause; 74% would be prepared to change their normal brand or service if a similar brand or service supported a worthy cause; and 72% working for a company involved in cause activities have a strong feeling of loyalty for that company.
Oxfam Trailwalker is the world’s greatest team challenge to help overcome poverty and injustice. Your company can enjoy an association with this prestigious event and the Oxfam brand. Become a title sponsor, adopt one of the seven checkpoints along the course, encourage teams to enter the 100km challenge or provide volunteers for the event.
World Water Day is a global UN initiative to raise awareness of water and sanitation issues around the world. Beca and North Shore City Council have supported Oxfam to run the Auckland Regional Oxfam Corporate Water Challenge each year and we greatly appreciate their time and support. Tauranga City Council is supporting the Bay Of Plenty event in 2010. Contact katherine.mason@oxfam.org.nz
Payroll giving is a simple and easy way for you and your employer to make a real difference in reducing poverty. The new IRD scheme means that payroll giving donations are now deducted before tax, so you will receive immediate tax credits of 33.3 cents for every dollar you give! Contact katherine.mason@oxfam.org.nz for further details.
If you want a change from your usual nine-to-five, and fancy getting to know your colleagues a bit better - fundraising at work is for you! Set yourself and your colleagues a challenge and have lots of FUN too! Fundraising at work is a great way to boost your employer’s reputation with shareholders, suppliers and the community.

Reflecting the increasing popularity of volunteering, many companies offer employees the opportunity to take special volunteer days. Oxfam is perfect for this, as we can offer flexible hours, often on a one-day basis.
