Questions and answers about corporate donations
What is a corporate donation?
A corporate donation is a voluntary donation of money or goods without trade-off, for example to a specific (charitable) organisation.
How does a corporate donation work?
There are various ways to donate as a company. You can either donate directly online and help us on a one-off or regular basis - or you can get in touch with us to discuss your options.
Can my company communicate the donation?
Yes, you are welcome to communicate your corporate donation to the outside world. We will be happy to provide you with info-material and help you to propagate your donation effectively.
By communicating your donation to the outside world, you help us in two ways: on one hand through your donation, on the other by making more people aware of us and our work. In this way, we can reach even more donors and potential volunteer German Doctors.
What are the benefits of donating as a company?
There are many good reasons for a corporate donation:
- By making a donation, you assume social responsibility, show your commitment and send out an important signal.
- More and more employees, customers and partners value corporate social responsibility.
- You can deduct your corporate donation from tax.
- If you opt for a corporate donation instead of a conventional company gift, you are choosing a particularly meaningful gift.
- Most importantly, you are giving disadvantaged people the chance to lead a self-determined life.
What type of corporate donation is the most effective?
In principle, every donation is an important mosaic stone for the success of our work. Regular donations from companies are particularly sustainable and effective. They help us to plan for long term and also cause low administrative costs.
What do Swiss Doctors use corporate donations for?
As a medical aid organisation, we are active worldwide and are committed to providing healthcare for disadvantaged people. The goal of each of our projects is to provide people with acute medical care and to strengthen health structures in such a way that external aid becomes unnecessary in the long term. We therefore use your corporate donation, for example, for urgently needed medication, for training local staff or for educational events.
As a matter of principle, your corporate donation flows into the projects that need support most urgently. This allows us to react flexibly in emergency situations.
