Corporate Support
HOW COULD YOU HELP US GROW?
If you are a corporate organisation that would like to help the 1 in 6 people facing a struggle to bring home a baby then we would love to hear from you. We have outlined a few ideas for how you could help us deliver our much needed support below:
Donate to our IVF Travel Fund
Tiny Seeds Travel Grants are payments of £400 to individuals or couples undergoing IVF treatment in the hope of building their families. These grants assist with the extra cost and financial strain associated with the need to travel away from Jersey for treatment.
Since establishing the fund in July 2023, Tiny Seeds has to date distributed over £40,000 in Travel Grants, but we are now at a critical juncture and we need to raise £20,000 to guarantee the continuation of the fund.
Sponsor one of our Crafternoon Tea events
At the beginning of 2023 we took the original idea of a fun afternoon spent learning new skills and eating delicious food, all within a beautiful setting and formed “Crafternoon Tea”. Our first fundraiser in this format proved to be a fast sell-out and an overwhelming success on the day! As a result of this success we proceeded to hold a further two Christmas events, again both selling out within just a couple of days, raising over £5,000 for Tiny Seeds!
As a result our Crafternoon Teas are fast becoming flagship events for our charity and we are on the lookout for sponsors to hep us to continue to run these again in 2024.
"It was fabulous thanks to your amazing preparation and attention to detail! Such a wonderful afternoon!" - attendee feedback
In thanks for sponsorship you will receive 2 free tickets to your sponsored event, brand exposure on all related media and at the event, along with the opportunity to introduce your organisation and to highlight why you have chosen to support Tiny Seeds.
Please get in touch to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
Make us your Charity of the Year for 2025
We are a small and still relatively new Charity, one that has entered the busy Charity sector with a cause that can at times be faced with stigmas and misconceptions. But in just a short time we have been making great strides in awareness and education and in changing public perception. A fantastic way of helping us to break down the taboos surrounding fertility, while helping us to raise the profile of Tiny Seeds and the important work we do would be to make us your Charity of the Year for 2024.
Organise a corporate fundraiser
If you would like to support us but perhaps on a smaller scale, please consider choosing us for any corporate fundraising events you may be organising. We have listed a few ideas below:
- Proceeds from dress-down days
- Bake sales / coffee mornings / bake off challenge
- Office raffle
- Social events such as quizzes and bingo evenings
- All employee challenges
- Any wonderful employees taking part in sponsored sporting events
HOW COULD WE HELP YOU?
We are working with an ever growing number of local employers wishing to ensure that they are a fertility friendly workplace and by way of thanking you for your support, we would love to help you be a part of this initiative too by:
- Helping you to ensure there is support in place for your employees;
- Scheduling training sessions for your employees to understand how they can support those staff members experiencing infertility or needing the help of fertility treatment to conceive;
- Working with your HR team to review and/or help formulate fertility policies;
- Working with you to understand why fertility support and awareness in the workplace is so important!
