How it works
Step 1: Choose your pledge
Your pledge can be anything that suits your business. For example:
- $1 from every coffee sold
- 10% of September sales
- $250 from every property settlement
- Proceeds from a fundraising event
- A once-off business donation
Whether your pledge runs for one day, one week or the whole month, every contribution helps build the Community Impact Fund.
Step 3: The community backs you
Throughout Local Giving Month, we’ll encourage the community to support participating businesses by shopping locally, dining locally and choosing businesses that are helping build our community’s future.
With the support of local media partners, radio, television, print and digital media, along with a dedicated social media campaign, we’ll be sharing business stories, promoting participating businesses and inviting the community to support those businesses wherever they can.
Step 2: Promote your pledge
We’ll provide campaign resources to help you promote your involvement throughout September.
