Some of our corporate members use our events to introduce their staff members to the voluntary sector. Small teams of colleagues attend TFN events with company money that they can donate as they wish to the non-profits they choose. Many end up giving personally as well, showing that it can be an effective way of engaging staff members in charitable giving and volunteering:
"Octopus Giving is delighted to support TFN as a corporate member. We pride ourselves on backing smaller charities - and we continue to be amazed by the passion and commitment of the organisations that pitch at TFN. We send half a dozen employees to an event, each given a portion of our grant-making budget to give as they choose. It's a great way for colleagues to discover new causes and forge some long-lasting connections with the organisations they meet." Gina Harper, Octopus Investments
