For Builders Club, partnerships are an exciting opportunity — and the right partnerships are paramount. We welcome partnerships that align with our mission and want to help the communities, children and families we serve.

Help Builders Club help the world.

Builders Club is an ideal program for partners who want to make a big difference in the lives of inspired and motivated children. Builders Club has more than 23,000 members in over 1,100 clubs. These clubs need several forms of support from nonprofit organizations, businesses and government agencies: providing places where students can conduct service activities, donating supplies and money, working together on service projects, and providing speakers who can inform and inspire them.

Places for service
Offer Builders Club a place for service to happen. Animal shelters, food pantries, museums and hospitals are some of the nonprofit locations where Builders Clubs do hands-on service — or donate the supplies or money they raise. Public parks, libraries, schools, historic sites and city streets are a few of the government-funded locations where members can do clean-ups, create public art, help patrons, host walk-a-thons and more.

Donations
Builders Clubs need donations of money, or of items for drives (such as canned and boxed food, toiletries, books, clothing and household items). They use art supplies for club activities and food for events. They hold fundraisers to help children’s hospitals, medical research, homeless shelters and other causes. Generous local businesses (such as grocery stores, art stores, supercenters and restaurants) and individual donors contribute these resources.

Partnering on service
Some partners want to engage with Builders Clubs to carry out service. Clubs welcome this! For example:

• A restaurant may hold a Builders Club night where a portion of sales are donated to the club and members help serve customers.

• A club can partner with a local bookstore on a book drive, during which customers buy items to donate to a collection box at the store while the Builders Club members collect books at their school.

• A Builders Club can work with an animal shelter on a pet adoption campaign; the members create flyers to homerooms and the organization’s staff speaks at a school assembly and works with school families interested in adopting.

Speakers
Builders Club members learn — and teach other young people — about all kinds of local causes and places that make life better. Clubs seek guest speakers who make presentations at school assemblies or speak at club meetings. Speakers have included staff members of animal shelters, firefighters, mayors, parks department leaders, medical researchers, doctors, shelter directors and others.
