The New York City business community has a long history of partnering with Children’s Aid. By supporting New York City’s neighborhoods—where we live, work, and raise our families—we help kids thrive.

Whether through grants, event sponsorship, or employee engagement, our families and communities are stronger, our children are better prepared for success, and we are a better New York when we partner to break down the barriers that stand between children and their potential. 

Partnerships that benefit all

Since our founding in 1853, New York’s businesses have helped Children’s Aid provide young people with what they need to realize their full potential. As both poverty and philanthropy have evolved, we too have adapted and now partner with companies in a variety of ways.

Children’s Aid engages with Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Affairs teams for long-term grants and ongoing engagement for either general support, which allows us to remain nimble and responsive to the needs of our communities, or for a division or program that resonates with the company and its employees.

Event Sponsorship

Companies enhance their brand identity by signaling their support for children and families through sponsorship of one of three annual fundraising events: our benefit, golf classic, or Associates Council-sponsored spring fundraiser.

Fundraising

We are pleased to be listed as a Matching Gifts partner with many companies. Additionally, companies find creative ways to support contributions as part of the global #GivingTuesday campaign in November. Some corporations encourage their employees to host Workplace Fundraisers which contribute $500-$10,000 to support our mission.

Team Children's Aid

Children’s Aid is a charity partner of the TCS New York City Marathon. Team Children’s Aid, our marathon team, gathers a group of runners who commit to running the race and raising critical funds to support our important work. As part of Team Children’s Aid, runners receive coaching and fundraising support. Individual or company teams are welcome.

Volunteer Engagement

We have a variety of rewarding group volunteer opportunities for organizations of all sizes. Whether it is tutoring students, serving hot Thanksgiving meals, or beautifying one of our sites, your group volunteerism helps our children and youth learn, grow, and lead—at every step of their development.
