Here is what is COOKING at Dining for Charities We've got some thrilling news and updates to share, and I can't wait to dive in with you all. Sky's the Limit! Let's start with something big. Did you know the Digital Coupons Market is projected to hit a whopping $29.77 Billion annually by 2031? And here's our bold vision: we're aiming for 10% of those revenues. Think about the incredible good we could do for our nonprofits every year. It's about more than just business; it's about fostering a community that supports local businesses while giving back. That's the miracle we're working towards every day at Dining for Charities. New Horizons on the Web Our new website is set to launch in early January. It's more than just a fresh look; it's about creating a space where convenience and purpose meet, enhancing your experience and making every interaction smoother. This is a massive overhaul of our infrastructure and will be part of consolidating our separate markets all into a single source for future expansion. Expanding Our Reach We're not just growing; we're thriving! New cities are opening up in Atlanta, Brookstone, Alpharetta, Mobile, Auburn, and Santa Maria, CA. And that's just the beginning. We're also in talks with cities like St. Louis, KC, Minneapolis, Victorville, TX, and Redding, CA. Our mission is to spread the Dining for Charities spirit far and wide, and the team is making significant progress on our growth strategy. Giving Back, One Meal at a Time January is set to be a heartwarming month as we present checks to Columbus charities. It's a proud moment for all of us, seeing the tangible difference our collective efforts make. Embracing Diversity Inclusion is at the heart of our mission. That's why I'm thrilled to announce that Dining for Charities will soon be available in Spanish, thanks to a partnership that we should be able to announce sometime in January. What's Next? There's so much more on the horizon, and I'm eager to share every update with you. But let's keep some surprises up our sleeve for now. Just know that with every step we take, we're moving closer to making a profound impact. Join Us on This Journey We invite you to be more than just a spectator. This is your opportunity to be part of something truly special. By investing in Dining for Charities, you're not just investing in a company; you're investing in a vision of community, support, and giving back. Let's make this vision a reality together.

DOUBLE DIP FOR GOOD! 2 Opportunities to Help the Crisis Center Earlier this week, the Double Dip for Good! campaign launched. In case you missed it, here’s what it’s all about: Everyone knows that double dipping is one of the ultimate party fouls. It’s just not good etiquette (but we’ve all sneaked one when no one was looking, am I right?). What if, just once, you could double dip with confidence? What if a double dip wasn’t just encouraged, it was the right thing to do?  That’s just what The Melting Pot Littleton is offering. During the months of July, August, and September, you can Double Dip for Good! With each “dip” not only will you enjoy a delicious fondue dining experience from the Melting Pot, you will also help support adults and children who are impacted by domestic violence. The First Dip: Purchase a Gift Certificate Anytime during July and August, purchase a gift certificate from the Melting Pot to use for yourself or give as a gift. The Melting Pot will be donating 40%-50% of each gift certificate purchase made during these two months back to the Crisis Center. Click the link to purchase your Gift Certificate to make your first dip. https://lnkd.in/gRhKVNVX The Double Dip: Dine In The Melting Pot is offering a second opportunity that directly impacts the Crisis Center by featuring us as their "Nonprofit of the Month" during September. To participate, make your “double dip” by dining in at the Melting Pot anytime during September, ordering from their exclusive "Charity Menu." When you do, 10% of your bill will be donated back to the Crisis Center. Click the link to make you September reservations today, and lock in your double dip! https://lnkd.in/ghcb_pxa FINE PRINT (because of course there's some): Please note that gift certificates purchased during July & August are not eligible to use during the “Nonprofit of the Month” promotion in September. Will you Double Dip for Good? Just imagine how good that fondue will taste when you know that it’s directly helping sustain the vital services offered by the Crisis Center in our community. *The Crisis Center takes no responsibility and bears no liability for any actual double dips that may occur during your meal at the Melting Pot. #businessnonprofitpartnership #dineforacause #domesticviolenceawareness #crisiscenter

So happy to be continuing our charity partnership between Splash Damage X Bromley & Croydon Women's Aid in 2024 💖 Creating this particular partnership is one of my greatest personal achievements since joining Splash - having the opportunity to support local charities as well as game industry specific ones is incredibly impactful. Of course, fundraising is key to the charities we support but here are some other ways we have supported our charity partners over the past year that perhaps aren’t widely considered by companies and could be: - Studio Use: Use of our auditorium for staff meetings - charities tend to struggle with staff space generally resulting in the need to pay a hire fee so the offering of space is incredible, on that note, if you are a charity looking for meeting or presenting space, our auditorium space at our Bromley studio (120 cap) is free & available on most Mondays, please do get in touch with me 💥 - Volunteering of time: We’ve arranged Splasher volunteering time for all sorts of things from building furniture for counselling rooms, to garden clearing, translating help and more. Now we are in full 4DWW swing, we have Splashers looking for volunteering opportunities on Monday…again if you’re a charity looking for time support, whether it’s internal support (copywriting, website updating, digitalising files, sorting office space) or external support (fundraising, event management support, deliveries) let me know ✨ - Speaking opportunities: we host a huge amount of internal events (185 in 2023) - we try to involve our charity partners in these as much as possible by aligning with their areas of expertise and inviting them to share this 🥰 - Content sharing - if you’re a local charity to Bromley and have events you are hosting, volunteering opportunities, things to say, let me know and we can share this with our Splashers through our internal comms ✌️ We are currently driving a book collection for Bromley & Croydon Women's Aid in celebration of upcoming World Book Day for both the women & the children they support to give them some much needed escapism & joy, if you have any books you’d like to donate to this or publishing/bookstore contacts that would, please do get in touch 💖 #charity #charityfundraising #charitysupport #charitypartnership #eventmanagement #event #gamestudio #gamesindustry #gamingindustry

Showcasing a commitment to charitable causes can significantly enhance the image and branding of a prestigious company. Supporting charitable causes demonstrates a company's commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, which can enhance trust and credibility among customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders. By aligning with reputable and impactful charities, a company can showcase its values and integrity, strengthening its reputation as a socially conscious organization. Choosing the right causes to support allows a company to align its brand with issues and values that resonate with its target audience. By selecting causes that are relevant to its industry, values, and corporate mission, a company can enhance brand perception and differentiate itself from competitors. Choosing charity associations wisely shapes the image of the company and associates it with many faces, and hence feelings. Aligning values also lead to long-term loyalty and prevention of being associated with negative news. #reputation #branding
