Donations and Customer Reviews - Influencing Identity

Donation Spotlight: WhatCanWe.org

Recently we had the chance to get involved with a wonderful group called WhatCanWe.org. This fantastic group raises money to help injured and sick animals in shelters to increase their chances of being adopted. We spoke with Beth, the CEO of the organization, and asked her a few questions.

NT: What is the name of your company or organization? Do you have a mission statement?

Beth: The name of our organization is WhatCanWe.org. Our mission is: WhatCanWe.org raises funds to offset animal rescues’ veterinary costs, which often account for more that 50% of their operating budget. By relieving rescues of this burden, we can help save millions of animals from euthanasia in shelters.

Donation Product: Name Badges with Magnets

NT: What did we donate to you? How did it help your organization?

Beth: Coller Industries donated magnetic name badges with our color logo for each of our Board members. This donation will help WhatCanWe.org raise brand awareness, help us with community outreach at events and it will make our Board Members will have a greater sense of belonging and commitment each and every time they proudly place their beautiful Coller name badge above their heart.

NT: If you could describe your company/organization in 3 words what would they be?

Beth: Innovative, Healing, Resourceful… at both ends of the leash.

NT: Do you have any other comments you would like to add?

Beth: I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Coller Industries for integrating generosity into their corporate strategy. Corporate Benevolence is what enables so many needed nonprofit organizations to accomplish their charitable missions. WhatCanWe.org knows that our communities thrive when we find ways to provide “Healing at Both Ends of The Leash.”

On behalf of animals in shelters everywhere we at Coller Industries would like to express our thanks to the people who are donating their time and money to this fantastic cause. We are so happy we have the chance to help such a wonderful organization.

Donation Spotlight: Harvard Women in Computer Science

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of working with the group Harvard Women in Computer Science. We donated some product to them, and in return, one of their members was able to answer some of our questions about who they are and what they stand for. We spoke to JN, and she was great!

Name Tag: What is the name of your company or organization? Do you have a mission statement?

JN: Harvard Women in Computer Science organized our first annual Women Engineers Code (WECode) conference this past weekend. We are dedicated to building a network of technical women across universities and industries. We believe every girl should have equal opportunity and encouragement to pursue a technical field. And, we strive to promote awareness and build a community at Harvard and beyond.

Donation Product: Name Tags

Name Tag: What was donated to you? How will it help your organization?

JN: Coller Industries was kind enough to donate 11, 2×3 engraved name badges for the committee members running the event. The committee had worked so hard to make this 300 person conference possible and it was wonderful to have such a professional and unique recognition of their efforts. The badges also streamlined the functionality of the conference itself since attendees knew they could go to members wearing the badges to ask questions.

Name Tag: Do you have any other comments you would like to add?

JN: Thank you so much for working with us to make this possible. It was our first year holding the conference, and the first time many of the committee members had ever worked on a conference. It was great to have the name tags as a surprise gift for them to wear on the day of the conference because it recognized their efforts and legitimized our event. We look forward to building this relationship with Coller Industries.

Name Tag Day is a huge success!

Our customers are amazing! And we like to say thank you through our donation program. We had the opportunity to donate to Name Tag Day.

A couple of weeks ago we made a huge donation in order to support a new holiday being started in New York, called Name Tag Day. June 1st has come and gone and the holiday was a huge success!

The whole goal of Name Tag Day is to get people to open up to each other and talk! On that day hundreds and hundreds of Instagram and Twitter posts poured in with pictures of people wearing name tags, and connecting.

We couldn’t be more pleased to hear that this event went well. Name Tag, Inc’s donation process is all about helping people.

Because you saw the potential for this day early on and were so supportive, giving Nametag Day such an incredible boost we’ve been able to better get the word out and more effectively spread joy.

Thank you again!
