YOUR IMPACT
All gifts to The Salvation Army are used locally to support those in your community. Eighty-three cents of each dollar received by The Salvation Army is used to fund direct services for the at-risk individuals and families we serve.

As one of the most recognized and beloved charities in the world, The Salvation Army seeks to create meaningful corporate partnerships that match your philanthropic objectives. We are excited about finding ways to partner with you directly to create a lasting positive influence on both your customers and the communities you support.
MAKE AN IMPACT
We will collaborate with you to pinpoint The Salvation Army initiatives that align most closely with your charitable objectives and craft a customized partnership to bolster those initiatives. We’ll work together with you to market your support to our audience, and we’ll provide you with timely impact reports.
CUSTOMIZED PARTNERSHIPS
The Salvation Army’s service to others is made possible thanks in large part to the generosity of our corporate partners, and we will work diligently to help you reach your philanthropic goals. We understand the value of engaging your employees and customers to give back to the communities that you do business in, and offer many opportunities to make that possible.
EXAMPLES OF CUSTOMIZED PARTNERSHIPS MAY INCLUDE:
• Advisory Board participation
• Meaningful group volunteer activities
• Participation in our annual Red Kettle Christmas Campaign
• Support of a specific program or issue through funding or a cause marketing campaign
• Launching a point-of-sale campaign online or in-store
• In-kind donations to support The Salvation Army’s programs
EMPLOYEE MATCHING
You can double the impact of your corporate partnership by engaging in a matching gift program, which not only increases participation in our giving campaigns, but also allows you to reach your charitable objectives. If your company already has a matching gift program, we will assist you in promoting your partnership with us to your employees.
DISASTER RELIEF AID
Corporate contributions make it possible for us to arrive quickly when disaster strikes and to remain there long after the conflict ends. These partnerships enable us to respond to catastrophes worldwide.
For instance, The Salvation Army has been a lifeline for Hurricane Helene’s victims, offering crucial aid such as food, shelter, medical care, and emergency supplies. Our support has made a significant impact on helping recovery efforts and rebuilding after the devastating storm.

• Add a donate option to your point-of-sale software during a month-long period
