Gifts in Kind

If your company would like to support the work of the MS Society, but is unable to contribute financially, there are plenty of other ways to help. Gifts in kind enable your company to contribute to our work without making an actual financial donation. Some of the ways in which your company could help:

Team Building Opportunities

If you are planning an event to test the metal and team building prowess of your team why not raise money at the same time by getting sponsored for your activity.  In addition to being a great way of building moral among your team it will make a great contribution to society. Some team building events you could consider are:

  • Skydiving
  • Fancy dress work day – for a donation allow your employees to get dressed up for the day
  • Bungee Jump
  • Flying Fox
