In an era in which families are struggling more than ever, we need all partners to come together —philanthropy, government, and the private sector—to find new and more sustainable solutions to persistent poverty and trauma. Forestdale believes that the private sector can be a force for good, and we believe that your investment represents a significant opportunity to bring the innovation, incentives, and resources from business to the social sector. Below are some ways to partner with us…
Corporate Donations
Forestdale changes the lives of NYC families forever, yet we know we can’t do it alone. Corporate partnerships allow us to bring awareness to the effects of childhood trauma and persistent poverty to a variety of audiences, while engaging employees and consumers in a positive cause. Our corporate partners have made a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of Queens families. For this reason, Forestdale seeks to forge relationships with for-profit corporations through partnership on programs and initiatives, charitable giving, and cause marketing. Corporations have made outright grants, underwritten the cost of established as well as developing programs and they have enabled us to conduct various fundraising initiatives. Forming a like-minded partnership with Forestdale can help your brand resonate with a broader audience in a deeply meaningful way. Together, we can ignite your mission and ours.
Employee Engagement Efforts
Join our current Forestdale supporters including JP Morgan, JetBlue, Morgan Stanley and Deloitte by bringing in a team of volunteers for a Community Impact Day. Teach financial literacy skills to young people, help with our backpack drive, host a career day or help to beautify our campus—every small gesture makes a difference!
Corporate Matching Programs
Many employers offer matching contributions to qualified nonprofit organizations. This is an easy and effective way to double the impact of your company’s generosity. See if your organization offers matching contributions.
Event Sponsorship
Forestdale hosts multiple events throughout the year, including our Annual Benefit and Back to School Fair. Event sponsors receive numerous advertising and marketing opportunities before, during and after the occasion.
Corporate Pro-Bono and In-Kind Donations
In the past, Forestdale has received pro-bono legal representation, marketing assistance and other support to help us channel funds to program expenses rather than overhead costs.

Forestdale is looking for special people to provide temporary homes, guidance and love to young people who cannot safely remain with their parents. Your role is to provide children and teens with the emotional support they need to heal and thrive. At the same time, you work with Forestdale to help birth parents make progress towards rebuilding their families. In most cases, foster children reunite with their birth parents; when it is not safe to do so, Forestdale will facilitate the adoption process.
