FAQs
How can my organisation partner with Barnardos?
Getting started is straightforward. Contact the Barnardos partnerships team or call 1800 663 441 to talk through your organisation’s goals. From there, the team works with you to shape a partnership that fits your Corporate Social Responsibility objectives, whether that’s a one-off donation, an ongoing sponsorship or a multi-year commitment like YSG Studio’s partnership with the Aboriginal Early Years Program.
What are the benefits of a corporate partnership with Barnardos?
A partnership with Barnardos delivers value well beyond the donation itself. Businesses can build brand affinity and improve how their brand is perceived, strengthen employee engagement through volunteering and fundraising, and reach new audiences through joint marketing and storytelling. Many partners also gain positive PR and media coverage, along with a genuine way to show their commitment to the community they operate in.
What ways can a business contribute to Barnardos?
There are several paths depending on what suits your organisation. A corporate donation provides direct, flexible funding, while workplace giving lets staff contribute pre-tax through payroll. Employee fundraising turns a regular workday into a team event, and staff engagement programs combine skills-based volunteering with team building. Businesses with a product or service to sell can also explore cause-related marketing, donating a percentage of revenue, or sponsor a Barnardos event for brand visibility and PR opportunities.
What is workplace giving and how does it work?
Workplace giving lets employees donate to Barnardos directly from their pay before tax is deducted, so the cost to each staff member is lower than making the same donation independently. Employers can choose to match staff contributions to increase the impact further. Barnardos provides a downloadable workplace giving guide with everything needed to set the program up internally, including how to talk to staff about getting involved.
Can we run a cause-related marketing campaign with Barnardos?
Yes. Barnardos partners with businesses on cause-related marketing, where a percentage of revenue from a specific product or campaign is donated to support vulnerable children and families. Past examples include Prime and Floraly, who both built campaigns around this model. Contact the partnerships team to discuss whether a cause-related campaign suits your product range and timeline, since the details are worked out case by case with each partner.
How do I sponsor a Barnardos event?
Event sponsorship gives your organisation exclusive benefits, brand visibility and PR opportunities by supporting a Barnardos fundraising event, such as the Barnardos Amazing Race or the Hike for Brighter Futures series. Packages vary by event, so the best first step is contacting the partnerships team to find an upcoming event that matches your budget and audience.
