Giving Back
Since Juno Consulting’s inception we have donated a lot of time to the community sector and we remain committed to our pro-bono activities. This year we will be adding a financial contribution. In each quarter we will be giving away $3,000. In addition, we will close the office for one day per quarter so the whole Juno Consulting team can donate that day to the community group we are supporting.
We can get involved in many ways. For example, you could utilise our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) background. Over the years we have aided both our corporate clients and community groups in building long-term partnerships liberating sponsorship dollars, ongoing corporate volunteers and ’in-kind’ contributions. We have helped community groups understand what CSR is and what it’s not, create CSR marketing plans to approach businesses using a language it understands and, as a result, ensured a positive response. If you know of a good project that you feel business would be interested in, maybe we could help put together a CSR proposal and project plan.
Another way we have helped community groups is in the area of staff and volunteer training. Juno Consulting works with business in area of leadership development. We know that community groups with limited funding often struggle to find the dollars to pay for professional development for their paid (and unpaid) staff. Training is part of the ‘Giving Back’ opportunity on offer.
We are not afraid to get our hands dirty on either indoor or outdoor projects. If you have a community house or garden that needs a little TLC then contact us. Maybe the $3,000 could cover the cost of paint, contribute to a new carpet or furniture. Similarly, it could fill a garden with ’drought friendly’ plants.
Maybe, we could help your clients in some way. For example we have helped deliver internet training to parents who had never touched a computer and were worried that they didn’t know how to keep their children safe as they we surfing the net.
Hopefully, this gives you an idea of what we are willing and able to do. Our aim is to build long-term relationships with the community groups which apply for our funding and support.
