International Day of Charity, observed on 5th September, honours organisations and individuals dedicated to improving lives worldwide. Established by the United Nations in 2012, this day also commemorates Mother Teresa, whose lifetime of charitable work inspires businesses to engage in social good.
At Total Branded, we believe businesses can make a tangible difference through charitable initiatives while boosting their brand visibility and team engagement.
Encourage your team to bake or purchase treats for office bake sales. Add a friendly competition for “Best Baker” to increase participation. Proceeds can go directly to your chosen charity.
Pro Tip: Share images on social media to increase reach and highlight your CSR efforts.
Host a charity run or walk with employees, friends, and family. Participants can get sponsors for completing a distance.
Pro Tip: Make it fun by adding fancy dress or themed runs to attract more attention and media coverage.
Allow employees to dress casually in exchange for a small donation.
Pro Tip: Include themes such as sports jerseys, retro styles, or colour-specific days to make it more engaging.
Give your supporters branded merchandise that aligns with your values and the charity’s mission — reusable tote bags, water bottles, pens, or notebooks. These eco-conscious items provide repeated visibility for your brand while supporting a good cause.
By combining charitable giving with branded merchandise, your business can enhance brand awareness, strengthen team culture, and contribute positively to society.
