Corporate matching
A matching gift is a donation made by an employer that matches the amount of an employee's gift. Depending on the matching strategy a company has in place, it may match an employee's gift dollar-for-dollar or in multiples, resulting in a much larger more impactful gift. Corporate matching demonstrates to your employees that you support their charitable giving and want to boost the community.

Cause-related marketing
Cause-related marketing brings together a for-profit business and a non-profit organization for their mutual benefit. One example of cause-related marketing is a transactional gift program, where shoppers are asked to add a donation onto their purchases at check out.

Programs like these raise your public profile while raising important funds for Sunnybrook. They can increase customer loyalty by demonstrating your commitment to the community.

Studies show cause-related marketing is good for business.

The same study found 64 per cent believe it's no longer enough for corporations to give money; they must integrate good causes into their everyday business.

There are endless possibilities for cause-related marketing opportunities. Our dedicated Corporate Partnership team will collaborate with you to determine a program that works best for your organization.
