BT paid her entire wages during that time, and she got great experience at the charity (and got to meet the Prince of Wales). She still does occasional work for the Trust on a purely voluntary basis.

Another person I knew worked for The Body Shop, which gives everyone up to six days' paid leave per year to volunteer at the registered charity of their choice.

That's how you 'force' people to donate to charity. They give their time. You pay their wages. The charity gets help (and may well get some extra once people realise how easy/how much fun it is), and you get something nice to put in the annual report. You don't force people to pay an over-the-top amount for a social event they won't be confortable at because it's outside their price range.

I'm also not served dinner with the paying guests. Staff work the event, are paid overtime if they are eligible for it and are served a less fancy meal in another room at the function facility. We have some staff who choose not to attend and that's also fine. We've never had another nonprofit's cause pushed upon us, but some staff do give collectively around the holidays, etc.

I'm a big fan of alternative methods of compensation. It's really, really amazing what one can do with a bucket of tar, a 12 pound sledge, or a Stanley knife (sidewall? Ragtop???)

And if not able to make a cash donation to the charity, maybe she could volunteer some time and have them send a letter to the boss.

I enjoy your writing style and sense of humour very much! 🙂

What if you are asked to chip in for buying a birthday present and you REALLY don't want to?
