Corporate Sponsorship
Corporate Sponsorship provides the opportunity for your business to leverage exposure and marketing investments through partnering with one or more of MCC Alberta’s fundraising campaigns. We work with you to understand your needs and requirements and ensure that the relationship is mutually beneficial, measurable and outcome focused. Contact us to discuss how yearly events such as Cycle South for Aids and Annual Golf tournaments in 3 areas of Alberta can help you achieve your marketing objectives. 100% of your sponsorship can be claimed as a business expense.

Employee Volunteering

Employees feel united and motivated when they are involved in an important cause with the support of their employer. This may include volunteering for any of our local programs (M2W2) or fundraisers (MCC Relief Sale) or at the MCC Material Resource Centre in Calgary (preparing a variety of supply and relief kits for poverty-stricken areas), or at any of our Thrift Shops (Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Taber) where we recycle donated items into program dollars for our local and international programming.

Tired of generic gift baskets and or gift certificates? MCC offers the perfect solution! Surprise your business contacts, clients and employees or board members with life-changing presents from MCC Joy of Giving that are sure to make a lasting impression and a lasting difference.
