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.

Taking responsibility together

Social responsibility is firmly anchored in your company's value system. We at Caritas enable your company and your employees to support people in need in Austria and around the world. The diverse areas in which Caritas pursues its guiding principle of "seeing need and acting" ensure that your company has numerous concrete opportunities to assume and embody social responsibility.

Here's how you can help

Sponsorship

Sponsorship opportunities for companies are diverse and support our work visibly and effectively. 

The possibilities range from participating in our Austria-wide fundraising campaigns with posters, advertisements (media, print, online), payment slips or social media advertising, to joint communication measures, to supporting individual publications or events.

Their commitment has a twofold effect: on the people who see our advertising and on the people who are helped by it.


Partnerships & Cooperations

Every successful partnership is as unique as the company behind it. Together, we develop tailor-made collaborations that fit your goals and your business – whether long-term or project-based.

Whether strategic partnerships, corporate donations or joint campaigns: Together we develop a concept that achieves social impact and creates added value for both sides.

We would be happy to develop a customized project proposal based on your interests and CSR priorities.


Donation

Your corporate donation enables help to be provided where it is most urgently needed – in Austria or worldwide.

You can support a specific project or flexibly allocate your donation to where it will have the greatest impact. Naturally, we will keep you fully informed about how your support is used and are happy to advise you personally on suitable projects. Corporate donations to Caritas Austria are tax-deductible.


Corporate Volunteering

Joint engagement not only strengthens team spirit, but also creates direct encounters with people and issues that move our society.

We offer companies diverse opportunities to get involved in Caritas facilities together with their employees – for example in the areas of people with disabilities, homeless assistance, senior citizens, children and young people or community work.

Possible areas of application include:

  • Support at events
  • Garden and beautification work
  • Cooking and eating together
  • Learning support or tutoring
  • Reading aloud and shared leisure activities
  • Craft activities, such as painting or building raised beds
  • Accompaniment on excursions

To ensure that the services are successful for everyone involved, we plan them together with you in advance. This allows us to consider the needs of our clients as well as the wishes of your employees and guarantee a smooth process.


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!
