Ways To Partner
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Diane L. Parker Educational Resource Fund, through The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc, a registered 501(c)(3) Not For Profit Organization, strongly believes in the power of partnerships with the corporate sector. Our corporate partners help us continue to provide the practical tools, emotional support, education, and advocacy to help victims and their families heal and rebuild their lives. In addition to financial support, there are many ways for corporations to partner with us, including:
I. CAUSE MARKETING
Cause marketing is a powerful instrument that allows The Diane L. Parker Educational Resource Fund, through The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc., to partner with businesses in unique ways that have a direct impact for both our services and the companies that align with our causes. These campaigns engage consumers, employees, and other stakeholders in both the product and the cause, resulting in a meaningful public partnership. Cause marketing also serves the important role of highlighting a corporation’s commitment to social causes, thus making their products more appealing to consumers. Consumers can enjoy products from their favorite brands while supporting a worthy cause and becoming educated about the issues they stand for.
II. ADOPT A PROGRAM
Throughout the year, our programs require ongoing support, including needs for back-to-school supplies, toiletry items, winter coats, and even holiday parties. To meet the needs of our programs, we encourage companies to adopt a program for a minimum financial commitment. Adopting a program is a great way for employees to see first-hand how their efforts can change lives. To foster a sense of community between your adopted program and your company’s volunteer efforts, The Diane L. Parker Educational Resource Fund, through The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc., will send you updates on your program. These updates may include an overview of clients we have helped, success stories, renovation updates or any other exciting developments at your program.
III. MATCHING GIFTS/WORKPLACE GIVING CAMPAIGNS
