Inclusion Canada’s corporate and foundation partners are crucial to building our programs for people with an intellectual disability and their families, and we are grateful for their unique and valued contributions.

Our flexible approach to partnerships ensures that your involvement with us is tailored to meet not only our goals, but yours as well. When your organization partners with Inclusion Canada, you become part of a group of like-minded people working to create immediate and lasting change in the lives of people with an intellectual disability and their families.

Here’s How Your Organization Can Join Us

Annual Support

Undesignated annual support gives Inclusion Canada the flexibility to direct your contribution to the area of most need.

Project Support

Your organization can directly support one of our current projects by choosing a specific project or initiative to focus your organization’s giving toward. We will provide progress reports across the lifespan of your project.

Cause-related Marketing

Most consumers agree that – price and quality being equal – they’re more likely to buy a product or service that’s associated with a cause they care about. Cause-related marketing is a powerful way to link your products and services with Inclusion Canada; strengthening your customers’ loyalty to you while helping people with an intellectual disability and their families across Canada.

Matching Gifts

Many companies will match any charitable contributions made by their employees either directly or via their corporate/employee foundations. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy that will double your support to Inclusion Canada, please contact your Human Resources or Charitable Giving departments.

Depending upon your employer’s program, recent donations you’ve made to Inclusion Canada may be eligible for matching. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or their employees’ spouses.

If you are interested in discussing how your company or foundation can support Inclusion Canada, please connect with us at giving@inclusioncanada.ca.
