Partnering for Impact: Why Corporate Sponsorship Matters
At North Star Foundation, our mission is simple but urgent: to build safe, fully furnished emergency housing for women and children escaping domestic and family violence. Each home we create is more than just a roof; it’s a fresh start, dignity restored, and a brighter future made possible.
Why corporate sponsorship is critical
Domestic and family violence remains one of the leading drivers of homelessness for women and children in Australia. Every year, thousands of families are forced to choose between staying in a violent home or facing life without shelter. While the need is immense, so is the opportunity to change it. Corporate support allows us to accelerate our mission, delivering more homes, supporting more families, and expanding our impact nationally.
How businesses make a difference
When companies step forward as partners, they bring more than funding. They bring credibility, reach, resources, and influence. From building materials and furnishings to professional services and financial contributions, partnerships strengthen every part of what we do. Corporate sponsorship helps us:
- Construct and maintain purpose-built, fully furnished homes
- Provide essential relief packages for families starting over
- Keep rents affordable and remove barriers like bonds or upfront costs
- Fund long-term sustainability, ensuring each home remains a safe-haven for decades to come
Benefits for our partners
For businesses, this isn’t just philanthropy. Sponsorships and partnerships demonstrate corporate values, purpose and social responsibility, at a time when customers, employees, and investors are looking for companies that stand for something bigger.
Benefits include:
- Brand alignment with a high-integrity, mission-led cause
- Employee engagement opportunities, from volunteering to fundraising
- Recognition across our events, communications, and campaigns
- Impact storytelling that shows clients and stakeholders the difference your business is making in the community
