Our achievements
Since 2010, our talents have invested more than 52,000 hours in community projects around the world, raising over €25.5 million.
In 2023, our agencies supported 70 community projects and directly raised € +421,000 for these programmes. From donation drives to a cycling marathon to giving blood, our talents have again used their creativity and genuine care to help those in need.
Using our expertise for good
In addition to our community outreach initiatives, we leverage our knowledge and connections to assist in coordinating charitable events. In 2023, € +3,565,000 were indirectly raised through pro bono work and other charity initiatives.
Many non-profit organisations lack the resources, expertise or purchasing power that mci group possesses to organise significant events to further their missions. This places us in a distinctive position to orchestrate impactful sustainability events on their behalf.
Moreover, beyond just empowering communities and catalysing change, we view these endeavours as avenues for our team members to apply their abilities meaningfully, fostering a deeper sense of fulfilment and job satisfaction.
Here is a glimpse of some of the local community projects we have initiated or supported in 2023.
Dorier’s pro bono work to protect children from the internet
Action Innocence is a private Foundation whose aim is to “protect the integrity and dignity of children, teenagers, and individuals with special needs in their use of screens and digital technologies”.
During months of close collaboration, Dorier and Action Innocence worked hand in hand to create an outstanding immersive experience for the charity gala dinner that takes place every two years.
Immersion was key to communicate in an impactful way, and Action Innocence knocked on the right door: Dorier created a 180 degrees LED projection on walls, using sound, voice-overs and actors to convey the Foundation’s messages.
Key highlights
- 4.5 million Swiss francs were raised from 400 attendees thanks to Dorier’s creativity, technological expertise and profound interest in supporting Action Innocence’s cause during the charity gala in Gstaad.
- 83,000 Swiss francs were offered on the final bill.
A night of giving for the Red Cross, from Geneva to Togo
Once again, Dorier and MCI Switzerland orchestrated the beautiful Swiss Red Cross Ball in Geneva, with the theme “Embracing resilience and empowering communities”. The 2023 charity gala aimed to raise funds to support the Red Cross programmes in Togo, which included: improving access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation, as well as enhancing the ability to identify and manage the risks of natural disasters such as floods and landslides that directly affect the health and livelihoods of local populations.
The gala event programme included the acquisition of sponsors, development of a creative theme, executing the event marketing and staging a full show production. The atmosphere created a perfect occasion for deepening relationships with donors whilst honouring the humanitarian cause and bringing this community together. The night featured live music, fabulous cuisine and entertainment with 643,500 CHF funds raised.
With exceptional eclectic programming, strong visual identity, audiovisual scenery, and seamless technical production, our teams participated in the success of this 21st edition.
