Many companies sponsor charitable contribution programs. Some use annual events promoted through company automatic payroll deductions, others encourage employees to donate to company authorized charities during the holidays or in times of crisis, and others choose to make donations at the corporate level with a one time check. Whichever way your employer uses, you can help them to get involved with the Aniridia Foundation International!

Many companies that use payroll deductions or annual events use the United Way organization to direct employees to beneficial organizations. The United Way provides a listing of local or national charities and the employees can select which ones to donate to. If your company uses such a program, contact them about adding AFI to the list that your coworkers can contribute to. If your company does not have such a program, start a campaign to set one up. Either way, you can obtain more information about these programs by visiting the United Way website.

If your employer does not have a regular charity program or is not interested in setting up one, you may want to ask them about either sponsoring one of our AFI events or even sending in a tax deductable donation. Most companies have at least some budget set aside for such worthy causes.

If you need any assistance or information about how you can help work with your employer, please contact us here at AFI.
