The business journey

We've made it easy for small businesses to support the causes they care about, through their sales. We wanted to share the inside scoop, so you can understand how everything works for your supporters.

How do businesses create an account?

It's quick, easy and free for businesses to sign up and create an account.

How do businesses create their agreement?

Once a business has created their Work for Good account, they can pledge their donation; creating their Commercial Participation Agreement with their chosen charity, via the donations form - this is where the magic happens! See how we guide your supporters through the donations form, in a simple step-by-step way here.

How are commercial participation statements used?

As soon as a business has pledged a donation, they MUST create a Commercial Participation (solicitation) statement. For absolute ease, Work for Good generates this statement for your supporters, which is sent to them via email and also appears on the ‘Thank you’ screen; once they've confirmed that they understand the Commercial Participation Agreement as part of our T&C's. Check out an example of how the statement appears and how it can be displayed at the point of sale here.

How can businesses publicise their giving?

Publicising their giving is a great way for a business to engage their customers or clients with their fundraising campaign. This will not only help them raise more funds for their chosen charity but is also a great way for them to demonstrate their values. We’ve pulled together our top tips on how businesses can do this here.

What support is available for businesses?

Your sales fundraisers receive one-to-one support and advice from our dedicated team, alongside access to a specific toolkit to help them publicise their giving and maximise their fundraising.
