Learn More
- Host a Spring Clean Day: Across Ireland, our network of 16 charity boutiques offer a wide range of pre-loved (and occasionally new) items, including clothing, accessories, toys, books, LEGO, and household goods, all generously donated to us. Many corporate partners participate in Spring Clean initiatives, encouraging employees to donate items they no longer need over a specified day or week. We warmly welcome high-quality pre-loved items for resale in our shops. It’s a great way to declutter, promote sustainability and give back at the same time.
- Lego Drive: Given our stores feature a selection of pre-loved Lego, we’ve organised Lego Team Building activities with our corporate partners. During these events, employees gather Lego and engage in friendly competition to construct various structures, often inspired by iconic Dublin landmarks. These contests not only foster team spirit but also allow us to repurpose the Lego for resale in our stores, blending team building with a purposeful outcome.
- Teddy Bear’s Picnic: Every June, the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation launches our heartwarming Teddy Bears Picnic Campaign, inviting schools and crèches to host their own teddy bear picnics. This initiative has also been warmly embraced by our corporate partners, transforming into enchanting family days where employees are encouraged to bring their children and teddy bears for a celebration. Some corporates have creatively adapted the campaign, organising teddy bears picnics just for staff, featuring an array of food, sweet treats, and engaging activities. A standout feature has been the Teddy making workshops where employees craft and personalise teddy bears, which are then lovingly donated to the families we support. In a playful twist, one memorable event had staff bring in photos of their own teddy bears for a “Match the Teddy to the Owner” game.
- Marathons/Challenges: At Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, we’re always inspired by individuals who push their limits for a good cause. If any members of your staff are planning to participate in marathons, challenges, or any endurance events, we’d be honoured if they chose to do so in aid of Jack and Jill. To support their incredible efforts, we’re here to provide everything they need to fundraise effectively, including personalised fundraising links and Jack and Jill branded T-shirts to wear with pride on the day of the event. It’s a fantastic way to combine personal achievement with making a meaningful difference in the lives of the families we support.
Making a Corporate Donation
A direct corporate donation to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation is an immediate way to contribute to our cause. Your generous support helps us continue providing vital in-home nursing care and respite support, ensuring a local child and their family receives the care they deserve.
Tax Efficient Giving
When your company chooses to support Jack and Jill with a financial donation, not only does your generosity directly benefit children and families in need, but your organisation also enjoys tax advantages. For example, if your Company donates €1,000 to Jack and Jill it can claim tax relief at the Corporation Tax rate of 12.5%. This means the actual cost to the company is only €875, while Jack and Jill receive the full €1,000 benefit.
To claim this relief, the company treats the donation as a trading expense, reducing its taxable profit and thereby its tax liability. It’s a win-win: your company supports a crucial cause while benefiting from a tax-efficient way to give.
Payroll Giving
Payroll giving provides a seamless way for your employees to support Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation directly from their salary. This simple method allows for consistent contributions, offering a steady source of support for children and families in their community.
Individuals can make their Donation Go Even Further At NO Extra Cost To Them
Let your employees know that if they donate €250 or more in a calendar year to Jack and Jill, their contributions can stretch even further at no extra cost to them. Thanks to the Government Tax Back initiative, by completing the CHY3 form, we can claim an additional 44.9% back from Revenue on a donation. This means your employees generosity has an even greater impact, helping us provide essential care and support, all without any additional cost to them or you!
Match Giving
Embrace the power of collective contribution through Match Giving. This program amplifies the impact of your employees’ charitable donations by matching them euro for euro, thus doubling the support extended to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. Match Giving not only encourages a culture of generosity within your organisation but also significantly enhances the contributions made towards providing vital care for our children. It’s a powerful statement about your company’s values and commitment to making a difference in the lives of families in need.
