How To Help
Corporate & Community Campaigns
Corporate Sponsorship
Funding isn't the only way to give! Donating a product or service is an easy alternative to traditional giving. Organizations can support programs and/or fundraising events with corporate cash donations, in-kind donations of items or services and corporate sponsorships. Our Development team will work with your organization to determine what level of giving works for you, and will create a recognition program to suit your needs.
Employee-Volunteer Sponsorship
Allow your employees the benefit of volunteering during work hours. Promoting employee volunteerism will benefit your company, your employees and your community. There are many programs to fit your corporate culture - adopt a program as your community investment strategy to help children and elevate your business. Studies prove that employees that volunteers are more productive employees and have greater job satisfaction. Do more. Be authentic... and the business rewards will follow!
Event Participation
Nobody throws a party like Big Brothers Big Sisters! We put 'fun' back in fundraising. As host to one of North America's largest fundraising events (Bowl for Kids Sake), we promise an amazing experience. This is a great team-building opportunity - sign up your employees to bowl, register to golf or sponsor one of our events.
Host an Event
Are you planning a social event? We encourage supporters to host third party events in whatever capacity that suits them. While they vary, third party events are typically managed and directed by an outside party (with support from Big Brothers Big Sisters staff and volunteers). Host a dance, a garage sale, or a golf tournament. Not interested in hosting an event? Why not make Big Brothers Big Sisters the beneficiary of an existing event.
Donate an Auction Item
Showcase your company and help us raise money by donating an item for auction. All items are appreciated, and some qualify for a taxable receipt.
Cause-Related Marketing
Sometimes the easiest way to donate is to just carry on with business as usual. Cause-related marketing is a partnership between our agency and your company, which increases your sales and benefits our programs through the donation of full or partial product sales. The opportunities depend on the nature of your business. If you own a restaurant, you may choose to donate all the revenue from up-sales for one week. If you are a lawyer, you may choose to donate a percentage of your hourly charge. If you operate a golf course, you could donate $5 from each green fee. Help differentiate your business from the competition - invest in your community.
