Partnering with Variety is a practical way for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility while creating meaningful outcomes for children and families across Western Australia.
We work with businesses of all sizes to deliver partnerships that go beyond sponsorship – from joint marketing campaigns and event partnerships to workplace giving, fundraising and volunteering opportunities that engage teams and create genuine community impact.
These partnerships support children with illness, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability to access the equipment, programs and experiences they need to participate fully in life.
Most importantly, by partnering with Variety, your organisation helps ensure children and families don’t miss out on support when they need it most.
There are many ways your business can get involved.
Corporate Partnerships
Variety WA partners with businesses that want to create meaningful, measurable impact for children and families across Western Australia.
As a local children’s charity supported by a nationally and internationally recognised brand, we offer partnerships that go beyond visibility – aligning with ESG priorities, organisational values and team engagement objectives.
With teams based in metropolitan, regional and remote Western Australia, including the Kimberley and Mid-West, Variety WA is uniquely positioned to deliver place-based support where it is needed most.
Variety receives no government funding, and our work is made possible through the commitment of business and community partners who share our belief that children and families should receive support when they need it most.
Through partnership with Variety WA, organisations can:
- Demonstrate leadership through tangible community investment and social responsibility
- Engage employees through hands-on opportunities such as volunteering, fundraising and events
- Support children experiencing illness, disadvantage or disability to access practical programs, equipment and opportunities
- Build long-term partnerships that create shared value for both the community and business
- Opportunities to connect with a diverse network of corporate partners, from local family businesses to large national organisations across a range of industries
- Brand exposure across Variety WA’s channels, including digital platforms, e-newsletters, social media, events, publications and media/PR opportunities
- Opportunities to become a principal partner of a specific event or initiative, with exclusive co-branding rights
We work closely with our partners to design tailored partnerships – including campaigns, event sponsorships, workplace giving and staff engagement – ensuring each partnership is purposeful, aligned and impactful.
Workplace Giving
Workplace Giving is a simple and effective way to engage your team while creating collective impact for children in your community who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability. Donations are made automatically from an employee’s pay, before tax.
For organisations, Workplace Giving provides a practical way to demonstrate values and social responsibility. Many partners choose to match employee donations, strengthening impact while supporting staff who want to give back.
How it works:
- Employees can nominate to donate a regular amount, starting from as little as $2 per month, to Variety WA
- Donations are deducted automatically from pre-tax pay, meaning no tax receipts are required at the end of the financial year
Fundraising in the Workplace
Workplace fundraising is a powerful way to bring teams together around a shared purpose. From friendly office challenges and social events to simple everyday initiatives, there are many ways to build fundraising into your workplace culture.
Getting involved helps employees feel connected to the impact they’re making, boosting engagement, morale and pride while supporting children and families in need.
Fundraising tips for the workplace
Donate Your Office Recyclables
Office recycling can deliver real social and environmental impact – at no cost to your business.
Through Western Australia’s Containers for Change scheme, eligible containers can be recycled with 10 cents per container donated to Variety WA, helping fund vital support for children and families across the state.
For many workplaces, this initiative can also reduce waste disposal costs. We provide free bins and a collection service (eligible locations), making it an easy way to support children while improving sustainability practices in the workplace.
How it works:
- We provide a dedicated Variety WA recycling bin (or you can use your own)
- Collect eligible containers and dispose of them in the correct bin
- We arrange regular collections based on your needs, or containers can be dropped off at the Variety WA office in Burswood or at Containers for Change refund points across WA using Scheme ID C10240474
