Ways to partner with us
Fund Our Play2Learn Centres
By funding our Play2Learn centres, you can support children’s development through play-based learning while aligning with education initiatives, including India’s National Education Policy 2020. Additionally, our programmes offer a flexible approach to CSR, allowing corporate partners to tailor their support to specific goals while making a tangible difference in the lives of children and communities.
Employee Engagement
Encourage your employees to volunteer with Toybank and engage with children through our play programmes based on their availability, skills, and interests. Our volunteer engagement team matches the opportunities with your employees. Before beginning, we provide sensitisation sessions to corporate volunteers to talk about the importance of Play and how our work is critical for children's overall well-being and growth.
Payroll Giving
Encouraging Payroll Giving for Toybank is an easy and effective way to support our cause. Employees can donate a small portion of their monthly salary to help create safe and inclusive spaces for at-risk children to play and learn. This regular contribution will help us sustain our programmes and reach out to more children. As a corporate, you can multiply employee giving through a matching grant.
Run for Play
Lace up for a cause and ensure children their Right to play! Participate in events like runs or marathons for Toybank and help ensure more children learn and develop through our Play programmes.
Play Supporters
Given space constraints in Mumbai, Toybank’s approach lets us partner with them to engage with at-risk children playfully.
