| A Partnership |
| A partnership of five of Ireland's most respected charities united under one banner to facilitate an appealing and easy to administer payroll giving or "Give As You Earn Scheme" among your employees. |
 |
| A Range of Causes... |
| Children Direct enables you to offer your staff a way of supporting a range of causes and charities, something which is vital to the success of a Give As You Earn programme, staff in any organisation will have diverse interests and concerns. |
 |
| ... A Central Communicable Theme |
|
One common thread links the five causes which makes the programme easy to communicate and promote. Each of the charities helps children, albeit in many different ways.
... A Better Future for our Children By contributing to Children Direct, your staff will be helping the homeless child sleeping rough; the child facing a diagnosis of cancer; the child braving the challenge of disability; the child suffering violence or abuse; the child in the third world simply struggling to survive. |

| ... Easy to Administer |
| Children Direct is operated directly by the charities with a dedicated number of staff to work with you to tailor the very best implementation of the scheme within your company. The payroll department deducts the agreed donation in the same way as pension and health insurance payments. The company then only has to issue one cheque to Children Direct and the money will be divided equally between the five participating charities. |
