Corporate Partnerships

Computer Aid International has lots of projects, large and small, that any company can get involved in through sponsorship, employee fundraising and events. And there are benefits for your company too: more and more of our corporate supporters find that helping Computer Aid is a great way to build team spirit, add another dimension to marketing activities, increase sales and differentiate their brand.
In return for your support, we can offer your business a range of benefits including:

• Joint publicity - enhancing your image and profile both in the UK and in key emerging markets
• The opportunity to motivate staff and build morale through participation in fundraising events
• Coverage in our supporter e-newsletter - received by 6,000 organisational subscribers
• The chance to support specific projects and receive regular updates on progress
• Engaging case studies and arresting images that show your clients and staff why your support is so vital

The success of Cause-related Marketing as a cost effective way of boosting sales, as well as its ability to build brand affinity and positively enhance consumer perception in the long-term is well documented.

Computer Aid International is the Official Charity partner of the UK IT Industry Awards and of an increasing number of IT businesses. Our newsletter is received by over 6,000 organisational subscribers – most of whom are existing partners and IT procurement decision-makers for their businesses.

By forming a commercial partnership, we can help you reach this audience as well as audiences in key developing economies.

By far the simplest and most effective 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. £1 invested in IT education, for example, provides the opportunity for one child to reach a vocational level of IT literacy – and with it the chance of a better life.

We can work with you to identify a project that is aligned with your business objectives and with a budget to match your requirements. In return, 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.

With an in-kind gift you can transform your company’s surplus goods and facilities into support for Computer Aid. Gifts we would welcome include:

• Donated IT equipment (please see our computer donations page by clicking here )
• Venues for events
• Meeting room space
• Gifts that we may be able to use as auction or raffle prizes

Computer Aid welcomes this form of giving. Please note that it may not be practical for us to make use of all gifts, so please check with us if you are unsure.

Staff participation in our overseas challenges and parachute jumps, or in your own charity of the year or one of fundraising events is a great way to enhance team-building and employee motivation within your company.

Please see our current events page or contact Maurizio Borgatti by email or telephone 020 8361 5540 to find our more.

If your company chooses a ‘Charity of the Year' based on staff nominations, please put Computer Aid International forward for consideration. If you need more information, literature or a presentation to back up your case please let us know and we will be happy to help. 

Many companies now match the funds raised by their employees for specific charities. If your company is willing to do this you could consider a staff fundraising event such as a quiz night, team parachute jump, collection day, cake sale or participation in one of our Challenge Events. Your efforts really would be worth twice as much!
