Our corporate partners help us fulfill our mission to improve how aid organisations perform by providing vital support for our global research, events and advocacy efforts.
In return, companies build brand awareness about their products and services, as well as fulfil their corporate social responsibility goals and objectives.
For an outline of the Corporate Partner scheme, please review our levels and benefits.

Given the scope and scale of our work: from qualitative research to bespoke services to learning events and country level projects, we seek strategic partners who can help us deliver work, reaching every level of the sector and having the type of large scale impact required to affect change.

In 2012, VanBreda International, the critically acclaimed international health insurance provider, became our first global partner. Their gracious support has enabled us to provide learning events, produce research as well as meet ongoing costs of delivering work to more than 200 NGO members worldwide.
If you are interested in making a global impact and improving aid effectiveness, please contact Lisa Smith at 020 3137 3598 for more details.
Trusts and foundations can support us in a number of ways, some areas include:
- Research. We need funds for specific pieces of research: current examples being solutions to poaching national staff, State of HR annual review, Innovation in HR, or return on investment.
- Posts. We need to fund a research manager post and a capacity-building manager post. Fully-supported secondments of suitably qualified staff for specific projects would be welcomed - a great development opportunity for an NGO HR employee to see the big picture, or a corporate employee to benefit from working in our sector.
- Capacity-building. We need to support our members (and local civil society and public sector) in the countries where they work. Grants to support existing programmes (East Africa or Australia/Pacific) or a new one (eg Asia, USA, Ghana, Central America, India) are required.
- Humanitarian HR. We undertake a variety of initiatives to improve the sector’s response to conflict and disaster. We have a bespoke proposal that we can provide upon request to any funder interested in seeing how their monies will be spent in this area.
- Conferences and workshops. We stage approximately 17 conferences and workshops globally. The costs for these events are partially met by our grant from DFID and ECHO. Support in this area would enable us to subsidise the attendance of small, local organisations as well as alleviate costs not covered by institutional support, enabling us to do more.
- Technology and digital. We need funding to support our existing activities, but would also like to do more in this area to drive innovation and ‘next practice’ through multiple media platforms and channels.
