Business Buddy Program

Corporate Partnerships from the Heart

Nationwide Children’s Hospital relies on the generous annual support of our corporate partners to advance its mission.  We created the Business Buddy program to give back to our corporate supporters.  It is the return on your investment with us.  We are proud to be your philanthropic choice and resource. Team up with one of the most cherished and recognized institutions in our community.    

Our staff will help design a program that meets your philanthropic and marketing objectives so that your customers and your employees are proud to be part of a business that helps children in such a lasting way.

Our Team: No matter how your business chooses to engage with our hospital, we have a team of dedicated professionals at the ready to support your efforts.

Program Benefits: The Business Buddy program offers public recognition to corporate supporters of Nationwide Children’s Hospital.  It helps  participating companies realize the benefits that come from involving their customers and employees in a giving program that so many people are interested in supporting.

Corporate Gifts: Outright corporate or personal gifts to Nationwide Children’s Hospital play an important role in supporting the over $90 million in free care and community services that our hospital provides each year.

Cause-Related Marketing: Would your organization like to be co-branded with one of the best children’s hospitals in the country; and respected for its support of a world class pediatric institution? We will help you create a program that will work, no matter what size or type your business. Many companies are utilizing our Fundraising In a Box tool to highlight their partnership. Learn more about the Fundraising In a Box tool-kit.

Event Sponsorship: Nationwide Children’s Hospital hosts a number of events throughout the year for the community, and event sponsorship is an important way for the corporate community to be seen and heard. Find out how businesses are working with our events team to support the hospital and their own marketing goals as well.

Employee Giving: Employee giving programs like Employee Payroll Giving highlight the goodwill of your company, bolster employee morale, and engage employees in philanthropy.

Custom Special Events: Many of our Business Buddy partners create their own special events to benefit the hospital, while engaging the community, their employees, and their customers.

Matching Gifts:  Providing a corporate matching gift can double or triple employee giving, increasing the overall benefit to the hospital.

Children's Miracle Network: Children's Miracle Network (CMN) helps 170 children's hospitals in the U.S. provide medical care to more than 17 million children every year.  All funds raised by our CMN partners in Central Ohio stay here locally to benefit Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
