Your Company. Your Impact. Your Way.
The Big Business Program offers corporate partners the flexibility to choose how they want to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto (BBBST). We know that every company is different—so we’ve created a customizable menu of options that allows your business to give back in a way that aligns with your values, goals, and workplace culture.
Whether you want to sponsor one of our exciting events, volunteer, fundraise, or invest in our mentoring programs —your support helps us empower young people across Toronto to realize their full potential!
BIG Wins: Fundraise for Impact
Take part in our third-party fundraising program, designed to boost employee engagement, brand visibility, and community impact. Whether it’s donating a percentage of sales, launching in-store donation drives, hosting team fundraising events like BBQs, games, or scavenger hunts—your business can rally your community to help create BIG wins for youth.
BIG Day(s) of Impact: Volunteer with Purpose
Dedicate a day (or more!) to give back through team volunteering. Participate in school-based programs, host youth at your workplace, help pack essential items for Littles, or engage in mentorship-related activities. These one-time or ongoing opportunities bring your team closer together while creating a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
Sponsor a Little in a BIG Way
Help shape a child’s future by sponsoring a Little through financial support or mentorship within a cohort. Your investment provides essential resources and opportunities that empower youth to succeed. As a sponsor, you’ll receive personalized updates and a progress report highlighting the growth and achievements of the youth your support helps uplift.
BIG Investments: Sponsor Multiple Littles
Looking to make a larger impact? Sponsor an entire group of Littles through our group programming or one-to-one mentorship initiatives—such as our Sponsor a School program. Your support funds targeted programming and comes with detailed reporting on the collective progress of the youth you’ve empowered.
Unrestricted Giving: Fuel What Matters Most
