The "I Have A Dream" Foundation welcomes your company's involvement in our organization and in the lives of our Dreamers.  Below are just a few ways your company can get involved. If you would like to discuss other opportunities to help advance our mission, please contact Lauren Masters at (212) 293-5480, ext. 34.

• Providing opportunities for our Dreamers:  Enlisting employees to volunteer as tutors and mentors helps connect our Dreamers with caring, professional adults. Employees and companies can also provide internship opportunities and other enrichment opportunities for Dreamers to help them explore their career options, gain valuable work experience, and develop leadership and life skills;   

• Providing expertise to our affiliates or the national office: Pro bono services are invaluable to "I Have A Dream" as we work to achieve our mission.  We welcome your support at both the national and the local level in areas such as marketing and public relations, fundraising, technology, benefits and insurance planning, and administration;

• Providing meeting and event space: Access to meeting space for conferences and events allows us to bring together members of the "I Have A Dream" family and host events that otherwise might be too costly to sponsor; 

• Facilitating production of printed materials: We rely on printed materials to support our programs and our fundraising and marketing efforts, and we welcome support in helping us prepare, print and distribute these materials;

• Partnering with "I Have A Dream" in cause related marketing efforts: Cause related marketing campaigns that support the "I Have A Dream" program help to inform local and national audiences of our mission and your company's commitment to the community; 

• Encouraging employees to designate "I Have A Dream" as the charity of choice in workplace giving campaigns: Workplace giving campaigns or employer gift matching are two easy ways for companies to support our efforts; and

• Staff giving: Is it someone's birthday or a special event?  Rather than exchanging gifts, donate to "I Have A Dream".
