Corporate Partnership Opportunities
From cause marketing to employee giving campaigns to direct donations, there are many ways to partner with Riley Children’s Foundation to achieve your corporate social responsibility goals and demonstrate to consumers that you are invested in Indiana kids.
Corporate Giving
One of the most direct ways to engage with Riley Children’s Foundation is by making a corporate donation. Donations can be flexible and directed to the most pressing needs or designated to support one of our top priorities – from pediatric research to Camp Riley to the expansion of pediatric and adolescent behavioral health services. Donations from Indiana companies also inspire important research discoveries and allow us to improve children’s health throughout our state.
Engage Your Employees
Employee giving campaigns offer a wonderful way to engage team members for a powerful cause. Campaigns can inspire friendly competition, with departments or branches vying to raise or donate the most money and claim bragging rights. You might consider matching employee donations to further motivate giving and fundraising. Riley Children’s Foundation offers a suite of tools and resources you can access to easily launch a campaign and get started raising money for Riley kids.
Cause Marketing
Now more than ever, consumers are making decisions about which businesses to frequent based on whether corporate values align with their own. And there’s no better cause to be connected with than children’s health.
Cause marketing is when a for-profit company partners with a nonprofit or charitable organization. Examples of cause marketing opportunities include:
- Asking customers to round up at the register for Riley Children’s Foundation
- Donating a percentage of sales during a specific timeframe to Riley
- Donating profits from the sale of a select item or merchandise to Riley
- Making a predetermined donation to Riley if customers help you hit a certain milestone (ex: 100 scoops of ice cream or 25 T-shirts sold)
