Corporate Partnerships That Show Up in the Numbers
Match employee giving, sponsor a programme, run a cause campaign, or send your team for a skills-based engagement. Real impact, board-ready reporting, no boilerplate.
What Your Corporate Giving Team Gets
US 501(c)(3)
Donations are tax-deductible for US-headquartered companies. IRS Form 990 filed annually; documentation provided for your corporate giving and community impact records.
36 Years on the Ground
Field operations across Asia since 1990 through our sister organisation. A track record long enough to underwrite, short enough to still ship change.
Cause-Specific Designation
Pick the impact area that matches your corporate giving strategy โ health, child welfare, women's livelihood, water, sanitation, or rural development.
Reporting Your Board Will Accept
Quarterly narrative + financial reports, photo and video evidence, and outcome data your team can report to investors, employees, and regulators.
Programme Fit, Not Boilerplate
We shape engagements around your cause, your country focus, and your employee story โ not a generic sponsorship deck.
No Faith Gate
MTN's programmes serve communities regardless of religion, caste, or background. Engagement does not require an alignment with any belief system.
Four Modes of Corporate Giving
Pick one, combine several, or tell us what your team needs and we'll shape a fit.
Workplace & Matching Gifts
Match what your employees give. Multiply impact with no operational lift.
- โSet up MTN as an eligible nonprofit on your matching-gift platform (Benevity, YourCause, Bright Funds โ or a manual match)
- โWe handle receipts, acknowledgements, and matching-gift confirmation
- โOptional: lunch-and-learn or all-hands talk for your team
Programme Sponsorship
Underwrite a programme. Your name on the work, our reporting on the outcomes.
- โFund a defined programme โ a clinic year, a school year, a women's cohort, or a water-well district
- โCo-branded recognition where appropriate (we handle communications review with your team)
- โQuarterly impact reports + an annual programme summary suitable for corporate giving disclosures
Cause Campaigns
Run a time-boxed giving drive โ "Company X funds 50 women in trade."
- โDesigned jointly with your corporate giving or communications team โ defined target, defined window, defined outcome
- โEmployee-facing collateral, dashboard updates, and a closing impact report
- โOften paired with a matching multiplier (1:1 or 2:1) to drive participation
Skills-Based Volunteering
Pro bono support where it actually moves the needle.
- โLegal, technology, design, M&E, finance, or marketing engagements โ remote or on-site in Asia
- โDefined scope, defined deliverable, defined hand-off โ not open-ended advisory
- โOn-site team trips arranged with 8 weeks' notice, including field visits and programme exposure

From First Email to First Report
Introduce
Email our partnerships team with a short note about your company, your cause focus, and the engagement type you have in mind. We reply within 5 business days.
Scope
A 30-minute call to align on cause area, budget, timeline, and reporting expectations. We share programme options and references; you share your corporate giving priorities.
Agree
A simple letter of intent or MOU covering scope, recognition, reporting cadence, and a defined exit. Most agreements close within 3โ4 weeks.
Launch & Report
Programme begins. You receive scheduled reports, evidence packs, and an annual review meeting. Your team gets everything they need to disclose impact internally and externally.
Questions Corporate Giving Teams Ask
Are corporate donations tax-deductible?
+
For US-headquartered companies, yes โ MTN is a US 501(c)(3) and donations qualify for charitable deduction under standard IRS rules. We provide a written acknowledgement and IRS-compliant receipt. For non-US companies, we provide receipts and documentation suitable for your jurisdiction; please confirm specific deductibility with your tax counsel.
How do you recognise corporate partners publicly?
+
Recognition is shaped to fit your communications policy. Standard options include logo placement on our partners page, mention in our annual report, co-branded campaign collateral, and joint press where mutually appropriate. Some partners prefer silent operation โ we accommodate that fully. Communications review rights are written into the MOU.
What reporting will my team get?
+
Quarterly narrative reports (what was done, where, with whom), quarterly financial reports (funds received, deployed, balance), photo and video evidence packs, and an annual impact summary suitable for internal reporting and philanthropic disclosures. For larger engagements, we share dashboard updates monthly and can align with your company's own reporting framework or any standard philanthropic metrics you already use.
Can our employees visit a programme site?
+
Yes. Field visits to our hospital, schools, and community programmes can be arranged with 6โ8 weeks' notice. We coordinate logistics on the ground; your team handles travel. Visits are common for executive teams, board members, and select employee delegations.
Do you accept in-kind donations?
+
Yes โ particularly medical equipment, IT hardware, educational supplies, and vehicles, when shipping logistics make sense. We don't take in-kind donations that would create disposal or storage burdens. The fastest way to know is to email us with a short list of what you'd like to contribute.
Can we run an employee giving drive without a corporate match?
+
Absolutely. We're happy to set up a campaign page, provide collateral, and report results back to your employees, even without a corporate match. That said, matching dramatically lifts participation โ we'll flag this in our scoping call.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many US employers match charitable donations 1:1 or 2:1. If your company uses Benevity, YourCause, Bright Funds, or Double the Donation, search for Mission to the Nations to submit a match request.
MTN is a registered US 501(c)(3) (EIN available on request). We handle all matching-gift confirmation documentation.
No platform listed? Many employers run manual match programmes โ contact your HR team with our EIN and a copy of your donation receipt.
