Ongoing Corporate Partners
An increasing number of businesses are dedicating a portion of their profits to charity in an effort to “do well by doing good,” with visible results in increased customer loyalty, heightened worker morale and a healthier bottom line. Global Partnerships welcomes corporate collaborations and in-kind donations, and will work with your company to create an integrated sponsorship package tailored to your business and community-giving objectives. Below are just a few ways local and national businesses are supporting our work through creative partnerships:
 Global Partnerships has collaborated with Grounds for Change to create Opportunity Blend, a dark, rich and aromatic coffee blend. For each bag purchased, 15 percent of proceeds are donated to Global Partnerships’ microfinance efforts in Latin America. Grounds for Change is a family-owned-and-operated coffee roasting business located in the Pacific Northwest that sources 100 percent Fair Trade™ and organic coffee beans.

Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor corporate matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions that their employees make. Your gift may double or possibly triple. Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
If your company is eligible, contact your company's human resources department to learn your options. Companies have various methods by which you can submit your matching gift request – online forms, automated phone systems or a paper form that you submit to Global Partnerships.
For more information please contact Chris Megargee (206.456.7813).
