"BioMed Central is pleased to support Computer Aid to enable knowledge exchange and learning across the developing world. It is satisfying to see our fundraising with Computer Aid and Kenyatta University make a difference to the lives of scientists conducting vital research relevant to local communities and East Africa. We hope that this partnership will allow researchers to fulfil their highest aspirations."

By far the simplest way to support Computer Aid's work is through a company donation to one of our projects. As well as helping some of the world's poorest people, we can also help you to offset your charitable donation against corporation tax- a donation to Computer Aid International is a cost-effective way of helping disadvantaged people.

We can work with you to identify a project that is aligned with your business objectives and with a budget to match your requirements. We will feedback exactly what impact your sponsorship has had, which you can communicate to your clients and other stakeholders.

In the case of significant donations we can work with you to publicise your company’s support to your clients and staff.

A Charity of the Year partnership with Computer Aid is a fantastic way to build a long lasting charity element into your business which your customers, employees and the wider public will all recognise. Bespoke packages can be arranged and we can provide materials and presentations to back any application for a Charity of the Year partnership- our corporate team will help you meet your objectives.

Combining team building activities with a charity element is a fantastic way to motivate your staff. We can build bespoke events for your company which meet your training objectives whilst fundraising for our vital work. Events ranging from one off evening events and afternoon volunteering to two-week challenge events can be arranged.

Staff participation in our overseas challenges and parachute jumps is also easy to arrange. Your staff can take part as individuals, as teams or we can even create bespoke challenge events entirely for your company.

Many companies now offer match-giving to their employees to encourage them to raise as much as possible for charity. If your staff are running an event, or taking part in a challenge, their efforts will truly be worth twice as much!
