Corporate hospitality and sponsorship

Arranging a corporate hospitality event or sponsoring a WaterAid event is a motivating way to promote your company.  

Corporate hospitality

Hospitality events are a great opportunity to introduce your company to new clients or strengthen existing relationships. The involvement of a charity adds an extra 'feel-good' factor, while enhancing your company's image with the guests.

WaterAid's Corporate Team can help with the organisation, either using existing successful formulas such as casino evenings or race nights, or helping to create a unique, bespoke event.

Taking inspiration from WaterAid's work, you could incorporate international or watery themes and we can provide display materials and advice on fundraising aspects such as raffles and auctions.

Sponsorship

Mike Brophy, Community Investment Manager at Thames Water, talks about the benefits of sponsoring WaterAid events:

"GiveWater has been a success story for Thames Water on many levels: it has brought us international recognition for the work that our staff have been doing to help the world's poor; it has reinforced the partnership with WaterAid as the company's principal charity and it has clearly demonstrated the Thames Water brand values of integrity and honesty in action".

Sponsoring a WaterAid event can bring your company to the attention of a range of audiences including:

• WaterAid's supporters, by sponsoring our Annual Review currently available for 2005/6
  
• A more specialist development audience, by sponsoring one of our publications, reports or videos
  
• A targeted audience, for example demographic group AB1s with an interest in gardening by sponsoring WaterAid's stand at the Chelsea Flower Show
  
• WaterAid's high profile corporate and individual supporters, by sponsoring a WaterAid hospitality event
  
• The general public, by supporting WaterAid at events such as the Flora London Marathon team - currently available for 2007

"WaterAid's presence at Glastonbury is one of the best promotions I have seen, and RPM were delighted to have supported this through sponsoring the Glastonbury Art Auction in aid of WaterAid. It was a fantastic opportunity to entertain our clients and support WaterAid's tremendous work."

Ross Urquhart, Director of RPM who sponsored WaterAid's Auction of the Art from Glastonbury Festival in March 2003.
