By Sophia Elias
As we step into January, it’s time to revisit budgets and make plans for the year ahead. For companies, especially small businesses and startups, allocating those precious CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) dollars can be a daunting task. It often feels like supporting a non-profit is out of reach. But here’s the good news – it doesn’t have to be that way.
Even with a limited budget, you can still make a significant impact on our work and mission – the key is to get creative! There are numerous ways to contribute that don’t require a large financial commitment but can still make a difference.
As a fundraiser who puts the “fun” into fundraising, I’ve compiled fifteen innovative and engaging ideas that you can do to support RESOLVE. Whether your business is big or small, struggling, growing, or just looking to do something fun and different with your employees for a good cause, these suggestions will inspire you. Aligning with RESOLVE and demonstrating your commitment to the patient community shows your support for them and demonstrates your commitment to our cause, which is as you know, their cause.
So, let’s dive in and explore some fun ways to support RESOLVE. From organizing fundraising events, to a point of sale, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference. Remember, every little bit helps, and your efforts can have a lasting impact on the lives of many. Let’s make 2025 RESOLVE strong!
Ways to Support RESOLVE
- Create a DIY Fundraiser or DIY Walk – DIY Fundraisers come in all sizes and formats. From bake sales and raffles to jewelry parties and auctions, if you have your own creative idea to raise money and awareness to support the mission of RESOLVE, we’d love to hear about it. Whether virtual or in-person, we can help set your fundraiser up for success. Gameto did their own NIAW fundraiser and leveraged/promoted the fundraiser with the help of their fashion brand partner.
- “Sales” for RESOLVE – Sell something internally to employees or externally to customers and give some or all the proceeds to RESOLVE.
- Create a point of sale at checkout if you are selling any consumer products. Encourage your customers to give to RESOLVE at check-out to help support the patient community! Binto and Bird&Be currently support us this way.
- Put us into your scripts! If you are a pharmacy and you are printing scripts, include us in there. Walgreens is including a QR code to the RESOLVE website and content about our work together in their Clomid scripts.
- Hold a corporate or educational event and donate some or all the proceeds to RESOLVE. Conceive did an in-store fashion and networking event in collaboration with a fashion brand and donated a portion of the sales to RESOLVE.
- Shop for RESOLVE – Purchase RESOLVE swag for your employees for birthday gifts/partner gifts/holiday gifts.
- Thank your employee(s) by donating in their honor to RESOLVE – We will send them the card and they will know your company is RESOLVE strong. You can also do this for your corporate partners during the holidays! International Fertility Law Group did this last year.
- Payroll deductions – Ask employees if they want to do automatic donations through your payroll department elected by employees to support RESOLVE. You can do it around a time of year/during NIAW or other company event and/or all year long.
- Host a Basketball, Golf, or Bowling Tournament for your employees – Does your company have internal events for team building purposes? Company employees could “buy in” to play and the event will become more purposeful. Donate some or all the proceeds to RESOLVE. Good CSR and good fun – a win-win.
- Host a March Madness Bracket Pool or Super Bowl Squares pool “Gaming Tournament” with 50 percent going to winner and 50 percent going to RESOLVE.
- “Infertility Sucks” day where employees pay a certain amount and get a sucker/lollipop and proceeds go to RESOLVE.
- Run, host, or sponsor a 5k or fitness class and donate proceeds – Company fitness to benefit an important mission!
- Host a raffle or auction to your network, patients, or partners with proceeds going to RESOLVE.
- Start a “word” Jar – Is there a certain word you don’t want to hear in your office language in 2025? Put a “word” jar for employee offenders and encourage a small amount to donate to if they say that word.
- Put a link to donate to us in your e-signatures or on your webpage or socials that goes out to your community. You can do this during NIAW – hint hint.
