Corporate benevolence plays a significant role in Building with Books' continued success. We offer our corporate partners several avenues to support our mission and programs, and encourage creative thinking and action for donations including event sponsorship and matching gift programs. It’s all for the greater good of empowerment today for those who will lead tomorrow.

The Many Means of Corporate Giving

BwB offers its corporate partners many means to support our mission and programs:

  • Donations in support of BwB’s overall mission
  • Sponsoring a specific program, such as after-school programming and community service projects in the U.S., building a school in a developing country, or sponsoring BwB student enrichment programs such as Lead and Trek for Knowledge.
  • Event sponsorship including annual Gala events and Golf Outings. These events offer excellent marketing opportunities as well as inspiring social settings for catering to customers and networking with clients.
  • In-kind donations, such as much-needed office space, technology support, and professional services.
  • Matching gift programs. Through your company’s gift program, your employees’ donations to BwB are strengthened through corporate support.

For More Information
