BC SPCA: Friends and Partners

Supporting the animals at work can be a fun way to get involved with your co-workers - 60% of North Americans are pet guardians and we're sure that means that many of your co-workers have a cuddly friend at home - why not help animals that aren't so lucky?

Below are some fun workplace activities and things to consider!

Employee Giving

There are several ways you can support the BC SPCA at your place of work.

Payroll Deductions

Many businesses are offer payroll deductions through charitable Foundations set up by your employer. A deduction of only $5 from each pay cheque means that your annual donation could be as much as $130 a year! The total amount of your annual donations are included on your T4. Ask your company today if this option is available to you.

Some of the Foundations that currently support the BC SPCA include the BMO Employee Charitable Foundation, the EnCana Cares Foundation, Agilent Employee Giving Campaign and the eBay Foundation.

Payroll deductions are also available through United Way corporate campaigns.

Workplace Fundraising

Jeans Day - Who doesn't love wearing jeans in the office? Have your co-workers donate $2 - $5 and wear jeans for the animals! You can donate to your local shelter or you might choose to donate to one of our many programs that help injured, abused and homeless animals. It's up to you!

Paws for Cause - Start an office team! Fundraising with your colleagues is a fun way to support animals. Your employer might even match your contribution (more money for the animals!). There are great prizes to be won and you simply can't miss to be part of the best campaign in BC!

Our online system will highlight your creativity (you can upload your favourite photo and a personal story) and will allow you to communicate with your team members and invite others to join. For more information, visit Paws for a Cause.

Corporate Giving

There are several companies and organizations that help their employees raise funds for their favourite causes, look into these policies at your place of work and spread the word!

Matching Gifts

Many companies have created a matching funds program whereby they match any donations that their employees make to a charity - some of these notable companies include: Scotiabank, The Gap, Electronic Arts, the Investors Group, Chase Morgan (Sears) and Telus.

If you are interested in knowing if your company does offer this type of program please inquire with your Human Resources department. If your company does offer Matching Gifts please let us know! The more people that take advantage of these generous programs means that we will be able to help more animals in need in your community. Email us if you would like more information about Matching Gifts.
