Help with your Company
Learn how your company can demonstrate social responsibility and support people in need in Austria and around the world through sponsorship, donations, partnerships, or corporate volunteering.
Take on social responsibility through your company and support people in need in Austria and around the world. The wide range of areas in which Caritas pursues its guiding principle of “Seeing need and taking action” ensures that there are numerous concrete opportunities for your company and the industry in which you operate to live out social responsibility.
Here's how you can help:
Sponsorship
The sponsorship opportunities for companies are diverse: from large-scale fundraising campaigns featuring posters, advertisements, payment slips, online advertising, direct mailings, etc., to individual printed materials in custom print runs.
Your support has a twofold impact: on the people who see our advertisements and on the people who are helped as a result.
Partnerships
Whether through a jointly developed, tailored, and strategic win-win concept that is perfectly suited to your company and provides meaningful assistance to people in need, or through a straightforward donation that helps us continue our work both domestically and abroad—Caritas is always looking for strong partners from the business community. If you’re interested, we’d be happy to send you a specific project proposal—after you’ve indicated the areas where you might be able to provide support.
Donations
Your donation supports our work both at home and abroad. Choose a specific project or support us where help is needed most right now. We use your donation to provide concrete assistance to people in need—help that reaches them and makes a difference. You can find projects that currently need support here. We’d also be happy to provide you with more information in a personal conversation.
Corporate Volunteering
Caritas is committed to providing as many people as possible with a platform to contribute to a better world. Companies and their employees can actively get involved in various Caritas programs, such as those serving people with disabilities, emergency assistance, seniors and long-term care, or community outreach, among others.
Common project opportunities include:
- Helping out at events (summer festival, flea market, etc.)
- Gardening
- Cooking
- Tutoring
- Reading aloud
- Going for walks together
- Craft activities such as painting or building raised garden beds
- Helping out on field trips
For most projects, we need some lead time so that our clients can adjust to the new program. To ensure that everything runs smoothly and that your employees have an engaging day, we need to discuss a few details in advance. We’re happy to accommodate your colleagues’ preferences, but the daily schedule at your facility must be maintained.
Österreich hilft Österreich
In September 2024, large parts of Austria were hit by severe storms that devastated entire regions and left many people in dire straits. To provide rapid and effective assistance in this acute crisis situation, the initiative “Hochwasserkatastrophe – Österreich hilft Österreich” was immediately launched in collaboration with ORF—a coalition of aid organizations including Caritas, the Red Cross, Diakonie, Hilfswerk, and Volkshilfe, which work together to support those affected with emergency aid and reconstruction efforts.
Many local companies and institutions also responded to the call for donations, contributing a total of more than two million euros for this vital aid. Thanks to this commitment, we were able to provide rapid emergency assistance and continue to support thousands of affected families in overcoming the crisis over the coming months. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the companies for their willingness to help and their trust in our work!
