Consider the impact your business donation can make!
Your business can be an agent for social change, working to help end poverty. Including a business charity partnership in your corporate social responsibility strategy provides opportunities for your business to make a positive impact on communities and the environment, while deepening your engagement with customers, employees and investors.
MWIA works with businesses of all sizes to deliver proven solutions that help break the cycle of poverty and make an impact in the world.

How your business benefits
Amplified brand awareness | Aligning your company with a genuine and passionate charity portrays a positive and meaningful message to your customers, employees and shareholders. Grow and strengthen your reputation by highlighting your social investment in doing good. Some of Australia’s biggest brands understand the value of giving, with over $1.1 billion given from 50 top companies in 2020.
Customer engagement and increased revenue | Customers care if you care. They’re also vocal about it. Through a charity corporate partnership, you can attract passionate consumers willing to back your brand, helping to expand your customer base and generate a buzz. Giving back is a powerful way to generate goodwill with existing customers and attract new ones. Tap into the 55% of Australians who would be more likely to recommend a brand that gives even a small portion of its annual profits to charity.
Attract and motivate employees | Culture is a currency in the workplace. A culture of social initiative and generosity that enables workplace giving and volunteering can help motivate, unite and empower your staff, positioning your business as a socially aware employer of choice and attract high-caliber talent. 83% of millennials, who make up 40% of the workforce in Australia, would be more loyal to a company that helps them contribute to social and environmental issues.
Corporate social responsibility | Deliver on corporate social responsibility strategic goals and Sustainable Development Goals. Partnering with a charity working directly towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals means your business can clearly show meaningful contribution.
Reconciliation Action Plan | Aligning your business with a charity working to improve socio-economic outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians is a practical way for your business to demonstrate commitment to national reconciliation
Tax savings | Donations to MWIA are tax deductible, leading to significant savings at tax time.
