Corporate Volunteering 

Providing volunteer time or pro-bono services

WIRES is extremely grateful to businesses wanting to donate staff time and/or services to help native animals.

As a wildlife organisation WIRES is dedicated to ensuring that all rescued animals able to be rehabilitated, are released back into the wild as quickly as possible. Due to the nature of our work, our wildlife care services are provided on an ongoing, normally short-term basis by our volunteers at their homes. As WIRES do not have shelters we are unable to provide any on-site volunteer opportunities with animals. 

However, there are many way businesses and their employees can volunteer to assist, that can expand WIRES capacity to help more individual native animals short-term and all species long-term.

For organisations wanting to volunteer your staff's time or expertise, some examples of possible projects include:

• Social media support - including strategy, content development and help with facebook advertising 
• Graphic design - including infographics and online banners
• Email campaign management - best days/times to send emails to different lists and recommendations for improving response rate
• Google analytics - training team how to analyse stats and recommendations for improvements to increase response rates
• Corporate sponsorship - strategies to secure sponsorship, preparing proposals & creating different styles of sponsorship tailored to small businesses and corporates
• Videography - producing or editing clips, providing technical advice or training related to: equipment, editing (audio & video), software, shot composure & technique
• Fundraising - recommendations to increase income without increasing expenses
• Advertising/PR assistance - securing pro-bono opportunities for WIRES online and offline and creating content for promotion
• Policy reviews - review of all policies including WHS and providing recommendations for improvements
• IT support with the implementation & integration of new systems & review of data security
• Resizing all our member photos and reorganising them into their year of renewal
• Deploying Microsoft Office 365 Nonprofit E1
• Moodle training 

We are always open to new ideas and would be keen to discuss any other ideas you have for volunteering with WIRES to help wildlife.
