Corporations/Associations

At Free The Children, we recognize and admire the fact that you are committed to meeting the needs of your clients, employees and shareholders, while also ensuring that your operations continue to benefit society on a local, national and international level. Participation in the right charitable programs can help your corporation or association create an emotional connection with your customers and employees, strengthen your brand image as a company that genuinely cares, and distinguish the company within your particular sector.

There exists a unique and exciting potential to develop a partnership between Free The Children and your corporation/association, that can not only provide considerable benefit to both partners, but also ensure that children, their families and communities around the world are provided with the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

Through corporate/association donations, employee matching programs and other fundraising activities, your organization can secure important resources for a family in need, help a mother support her children, and build a brighter future for a smiling child. One of the most effective avenues through which to achieve this goal is Free The Children’s Adopt a Village Campaign.

Providing a holistic and sustainable approach to community development, the Adopt a Village Campaign gives your corporation/association the chance to make a significant and positive impact on the lives of children. By supporting villages in Kenya, Sierra Leone, rural China or Sri Lanka, you will help marginalized children and their families meet their basic human needs. This includes providing access to:

• Exciting, sustainable and proven-effective fundraising programs to build brighter futures for underprivileged children and their families in developing countries (the Adopt a Village Campaign);
• Overseas schoolbuilding trips for employee and/or executive groups;
• Local, national and international volunteering opportunities for both youth and adults;
• Promoting, establishing and supporting Youth in Action groups in your community and across the country;
• Involvement in Free The Children youth domestic programs including the annual Take Action Academy, Volunteer Now, national youth volunteer campaigns etc.;

• Workshops and/or motivational speeches on social responsibility and corporate citizenship, delivered by Craig and/or Marc Kielburger
• Innovative and effective team-building activities for employees
