How Your Business Can Make a Difference

At UNICEF, we believe that every child, everywhere, has the right to be healthy, educated, and safe. Our corporate partners and supporters share that belief.

Create a better world for every child

 

At UNICEF Ireland, we know that business is a driving force for change. Your company can play a vital role in advancing UNICEF’s mission, the development agenda and creating a fairer world for children.

Corporate support is at the heart of how UNICEF delivers health, education, protection, and equality to the most vulnerable children worldwide. We work hand-in-hand with companies of all sizes, offering a variety of opportunities to create meaningful, measurable impact.

When your business engages with us, you will:

– Amplify your impact: Leverage UNICEF’s presence in over 190 countries to reach children wherever the need is greatest.

– Strengthen your brand: Align with one of the world’s most trusted and recognised humanitarian organisations.

– Engage your employees: Inspire your teams through fundraising challenges, volunteering, and purpose-driven initiatives.

– Demonstrate accountability: Provide your stakeholders with credible impact reports that highlight your contribution to the SDGs and ESG commitments.

Ways Your Company Can Get Involved

Every company can make a difference in children’s lives. UNICEF Ireland offers multiple ways for businesses of all sizes — from SMEs to global enterprises — to create meaningful impact.

Partner with Us

For businesses ready to make a bold, long-term commitment, a strategic corporate partnership is the highest level of engagement. These are multi-annual collaborations co-created with our team to integrate your company’s philanthropic, marketing, and communications strategies with UNICEF’s mission. Together, we will design a bespoke package aligned with your objectives and values.

Make a Christmas Donation

For companies that want to make a direct impact, a company donation is a flexible and powerful way to give. This Christmas, give UNICEF Inspired Gifts, providing life-saving supplies to children in need. Show your clients, staff, and the Irish business community that your company stands with children in need.

Give Through Employee Fundraising

Bring your staff together around a shared purpose by making UNICEF Ireland your Charity of the Year or by encouraging employee-led fundraising. From payroll giving to team challenges, your employees will have the chance to build team spirit while creating real impact for children.

Give through Cause-Related Marketing

Align your brand with UNICEF through cause-related marketing campaigns. Whether it’s linking a product line, a seasonal promotion, or a customer donation appeal to UNICEF, these partnerships strengthen brand loyalty, engage customers, and raise vital funds for children.

Become a Champion for Children

Our Champion for Children programme is designed especially for SMEs and mid-sized businesses that want to make a meaningful difference. By joining, your business helps protect children living in emergencies caused by conflict and natural disasters, while connecting your staff and customers to a cause that truly matters.

Support an appeal

UNICEF responds wherever children’s lives and futures are at risk — from global emergencies to long-term development needs. By supporting one of our appeals, your company can deliver immediate, measurable impact where it matters most.

Choose the focus that aligns with your company’s values and goals — whether it’s providing flexible funding for global response, supporting children caught in conflict, or helping to rebuild communities for the long term.

PowerFULL
