Partnering with CAFOD could make all the difference to your business: from how you express your values and strengthen your brand to how you motivate your staff. There are a number of ways to partner with CAFOD, so please contact Celia Brumby, our Corporate Partnership Manager on 020 7095 5343 / cbrumby@cafod.org.uk, who can discuss the best options for your company. Here are some ideas, or download our corporate brochure:

Give an unrestricted gift

In business, flexibility is key. The same is true for us. Unrestricted gifts are the most efficient way for you to support us. They enable us to give reliable, long-term support to our partners, and to act quickly and effectively wherever the need is greatest.

Support a project

Alternatively, we can tailor your support to a particular project. Whether you have a business link with a specific place or feel passionately about a particular issue, we can help you get closer to the people and places that matter to you.

Challenge your team

Get your employees involved: the options are endless, so there will be something to suit your staff, whatever their interests. From run, cycle or swim challenges to hosting a CAFOD quiz or a black tie dinner. We’ll support you every step of the way.

Pro Bono work, Volunteering or Gifts in kind

The businesses that support us have so much to offer. Expertise and knowledge from the private sector is invaluable to help CAFOD continue to give the best possible support to our overseas partners in a fast-changing world. Whether it’s marketing, management consultancy, finance, legal services or technology, your employees could help us by donating some of their time to work on a specific project or share an area of their expertise.

Sponsorship

You can support CAFOD by sponsoring or hosting an event. We can give your brand good exposure and introduce you to new contacts, and you will help us to save costs, so we can spend money where it’s most needed.

Payroll and matched giving

Tax effective payroll giving, matched funding for employee fundraising events, or donating an hour’s salary (or more!) are easy ways to give and to encourage staff to get involved.

Affinity Partners

Where there is a strong connection between your values and ours, affinity partnerships can bring brand value to companies and benefits to our supporters.We have a number of existing affinity partnerships, and we are keen to agree more; please contact Celia Brumby, who manages our Corporate Partnerships, by phone on 020 7095 5343 or by email at cbrumby@cafod.org.uk.
