Soul Art - Feelings Beyond Words 2008
This is our signature event where the art of the Kids of MacKillop is shown to the world.  Click here to visit the Soul Art website for more information. Soul Art will be on display in Federation Square during September 2008 with preview visits in several Victorian cities during preceding months. Great promotional opportunities exist for our corporate partners including a significant international web campaign.

Workplace Giving
Employees of companies across Australia now have the opportunity to give a pre-tax donation to a charity through their company’s payroll system. For information about this concept click here to learn about the Prime Minister's Community Business Partnership.

If you would like our brochure on workplace giving or a pledge form, click here.

If your company does not already have a workplace giving program, note that we are registered with several major agencies that can administer this service to Australian companies. There is the added advantage that your company can match the gifts of your staff, dollar for dollar, if you choose. Visit Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) or the Australian Charities Fund to find out about their services. We are also a partner with United Way in both Melbourne and Geelong. Tell them you want to set up a giving program in favour of MacKillop Family Services, and they will do the rest.

Cause Related Marketing
Cause Related Marketing enables companies to build a partnership with the charity to market an image, product or service. This is where MacKillop Family Services obtains a premium from every product or service sold by your company.

Employee fundraising
Employee fundraising is a great way to motivate your employees and build staff morale.

Dress-down, dress-up, shave-your-head, run-a-bbq, trivia nights, free dress days etc are all activities done by companies to help raise funds for MacKillop Family Services.

Staff Collections
This can be everything from a Clayton’s Dinner where people pay NOT to have to go, through to inviting suppliers to make a gift to MacKillop in lieu of Christmas gifts. You could also donate Christmas presents or Easter eggs for the children and families relying upon us for support.
