Support a defined project
Begin with a specific need, realistic budget, recordkeeping plan, and a shared understanding of what the contribution supports.
Build a partnership people can trust
UCRI welcomes conversations with businesses, schools, and community groups that want to support practical, source-backed work.
Three practical ways to begin
The right arrangement depends on what both sides can actually deliver, not a generic tier or an unsupported impact promise.
Discuss a donation box
Local businesses can ask whether a donation-box arrangement is practical, how collection would work, and what public language is supportable.
Build a community fundraiser
Schools, clubs, and local organizations can propose an event after responsibilities, permissions, and the destination of funds are clear.
What a good first conversation covers
Your organization, the support you are considering, the intended timing, who will manage each responsibility, and what records or public updates will be possible.
Agree before announcing
UCRI and the prospective partner should confirm the scope in writing before either side advertises benefits, recognition, meal totals, event access, or use of a logo.
Describe your partnership ideaStudent-led can still be carefully planned
UCRI's PCEP World Cup fundraiser is a public example of students organizing community support around food and educational initiatives.
New partnerships should begin with the same basic questions: what is the need, what can be delivered, who is responsible, and what can be shown afterward?
Tell UCRI what you have in mind
Include your organization, location, proposed support, timing, and best contact.
