Sponsorships
Being a Sponsor has Good Karma benefits
As a registered nonprofit we can also accept financial or in-kind sponsorships from businesses aligned with our values.
Sponsorships can be attractive for several reasons:
- Tax Benefits for Businesses: Sponsorship expenses can often be deducted as business expenses, providing tax relief.
- Control Over Use of Funds: Sponsors can set specific terms for how their contributions are used, ensuring their brand is promoted effectively.
- No Need for Charitable Receipts: Charities do not need to issue tax receipts for sponsorships, simplifying their administrative processes.
In exchange we would support your business/company with recognition on our website and promotional materials and be featured in our social media channels. See more details below.
