Charitable giving policy.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to formally outline Studio Dhesi’s commitments and formal approach to charitable giving and pro bono services.
Commitment and approach
Studio Dhesi is committed to supporting charities that have a positive impact on vulnerable people, groups, society.
Studio Dhesi choses to give to charities via pro bono services of strategic communications advice and consultancy work and is formally committed to donating at least 5% of working time to these services. Studio Dhesi will keep a formal log of all the pro bono services donated in order to track progress against this 5% time commitment.
The underlying goal is to use the skills and strategic communications expertise that Studio Dhesi has to support charities in promoting their messages and increasing awareness of the work they do with different audiences and target beneficiaries. The desired outcome is that more people are informed about the charities’ work and more individuals are able to benefit from their services.
In addition to pro bono services, any other forms of donations will come directly from the company’s expenses and not the Founder’s personal finances.
Screening process
Before working with any charity in a pro bono capacity, Studio Dhesi will undertake due diligence and screening to ensure the charity is/has:
impact focused with a track record of positive outcomes
registered with the Charity Commission; and
a robust governance and financial structure in place.
If you are interested in pro bono services from Studio Dhesi please contact hello (@) studiodhesi.co.uk. Capacity may be limited to help in a pro bono capacity, but Studio Dhesi does provide discounted rates on consulting and studio services to qualified underserved groups.
