Corporate & Business Support

For the work of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation to be most effective, we partner with a diversity of corporate and business partners to expand our program reach and impact.

Alongside providing financial and in-kind support, our partners share our vision for transforming the health and wellbeing of Australian children and young people. They understand that access to healthy and nourishing food is a human right.

Through our collaborative efforts, our partners’ customers and teams experience how a hands-on kitchen garden approach to learning can improve children and young people’s physical and mental health, educational outcomes, community connection and environmental awareness.

If you share this vision, we would like to hear from you. Get in touch with our Partnerships team today!

There are many ways your business can support our work.

Partnerships

The starting point for every partnership with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation is collaborating on a tailored plan that provides meaningful and integrated support, while also meeting your strategic business and community goals. The plan will always include opportunities to leverage our significant brand awareness and our reputation for delivering a best-practice, evidence-based food education model.

We currently work with 15% of Australian schools in all states and territories, and across metropolitan, remote and regional areas. Our reach provides opportunities for you to direct your investment to the communities in which you work.

Our specialist team will work with you to create engaging kitchen and garden content for your digital and printed communications, and bespoke events and activations that communicate your brand’s values. Other unique partner benefits can include volunteering and team engagement opportunities such as cooking and gardening demonstrations that support your team’s health and wellbeing initiatives.

Cause-related marketing

In a crowded market, a partnership with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation can set you apart from other brands, helping to increase sales while demonstrating your social and environmental commitments.

With COVID-19 shining a spotlight on many of the benefits of our program – including building positive food habits; understanding, connecting and protecting the environment; and experiencing the mental-health benefits of community, nature and sharing food – there has never been a better time to partner with us. With a boom in kitchen gardening, and as a result a greater level of interest in our work, we invite you to get in touch to discuss your cause-related marketing idea.

Host a fundraising event

Raising funds for us through an event is a great way to build team morale and teamwork. At the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation we make it easy for you to run an event to support us. With our kitchen and garden focus, the opportunities are endless. Whether it is a morning tea, barbecue lunch, formal dinner or raffle, we have loads of ideas and resources to help you make your event a success. You could also consider making us your charity partner for an existing activity in your organisation’s events calendar.

Payroll giving

Offering a workplace giving program and matching your teams’ contributions is a simple and effective way to support our work. Workplace giving also strengthens your culture and contributes to a positive workplace environment and more engaged team members.
