Ideas for Business - How businesses can help Moon Bears There are many ways in which a business can help a charity, and of course specifically Animals Asia - a UK registered charity number 1086903. Why should a business give to charity Giving something back - Building and running a business is not easy but the rewards can be great. Why not give something back to a good cause. Showing you care - Supporting a charity shows that a business also cares about the world we live in Involving your staff - Helping a charity shows can improve staff morale Promotion - Your customers and suppliers will respect you for what you are doing Support something you care about - Use your business to help your chosen charity Donations are a tax deductable expense when made from profits Having a chosen charity(s) Businesses get many requests to help charities, some local, some they have heard of, some they have never heard of, and unfortunately nowadays there are many people offering services that claim to help good causes but really are complete scams (beware the school books scam still doing the rounds). Unsolicited phone calls are generally never welcome in a business. Having a chosen charity or charities, can let you quickly tell cold callers that you already have a chosen charity (thanks but no thanks). That doesn't mean that all other charities don't get a look in at all, many businesses will support say a local hospice if its main charity is more national or international. Why support Animals Asia? Why Animals Asia? It is up to you to decide but please visit their official website www.animalsasia.org to read about their work and why they need your help. This years 2008 is also the year the Olympics are being held in China and a great opportunity to really increase the awareness and hopefully bring them closer to achieving their goal.
