Time4Society (T4S) unites companies and socially relevant projects around concrete and achievable portions of ‘corporate volunteering’. The Time4Society team has only one mission: making it easy for companies to give time to projects with social, ecological or cultural value, who in turn receive helping hands from the corporate world.
Time4Society provides companies with the tools they need to let their employees give a limited amount of time to a socially relevant project. Giving time is no ordinary teambuilding, but one that also improves society.
Social profit organizations, in turn, benefit from Time4Society as they receive a unique possibility to recruit those helping hands – a.k.a. corporate volunteers – from the corporate world. Although most projects last one day or even half a day, it’s also possible to invest time during several consecutive days.
Time4Society provides its Time Givers and Time Takers with a concrete project and an administrative framework that consequently reduces the necessary efforts from both Time Givers and Time Takers to a minimum. When you rely on Time4Society, know that you will be assisted by a well-equilibrated and experienced team. So far more than 25,000 hours of time have been given to socially relevant projects by companies – ranging from small enterprises to multinationals – and society has Time4Society to thank for it.
Some inspiring examples: employees of the National Bank engaged in sports and exercise with young asylum seekers, the Prime Minister and his cabinet went horseback riding with autistic children, the Tax and Customs Administration prepared a tasty dessert buffet in a retirement home, sanitary specialists of Johnson Diversey cleaned a nature reserve, Rabobank employees organized a party for mentally challenged people and employees of Kortrijk XPO painted rooms in a home for people with material, personal or psychological problems… And the list goes on.
Bonding or even fraternizing the profit and social profit sector isn’t really the goal of Time4Society. Its purpose is to benefit both worlds by uniting them in a concrete and constructive way.
