Corporate giving in action: How RMS Australia turned expo engagement into impact
Corporate giving isn’t just about writing a cheque, it’s about creating meaningful engagement with customers, staff, and the broader community.
The Bionics Institute’s corporate partners are finding creative new ways to connect purpose with action, and RMS Australia recently delivered a standout example.
Fundraising with a twist
At the 2025 NoVacancy Hotel + Accommodation Industry Expo, RMS Australia turned their booth into more than a networking space and made it a hub for charitable giving.
Visitors to the RMS stand were invited to “check in for charity” by placing a button into one of several charity boxes, each representing a different cause. For every button dropped, RMS pledged a donation. It was a simple but powerful idea: empower attendees to direct corporate giving and make it interactive.
“Together, we raised $5,000 to support Bionics Institute, Foodbank Australia, Victorian Animal Aid Trust, and Orange Sky Australia, helping change lives (and wagging tails).” – RMS Australia via LinkedIn
This approach gave attendees a voice in the donation process, generated buzz around their booth, and showcased RMS’s commitment to making a real-world difference. From pioneering medical research to food relief, animal welfare, and mobile hygiene services.

- Hosting an interactive fundraiser like RMS
