Corporate partnerships and giving
Be part of a community improving the lives of people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about corporate partnership opportunities with the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA).
Your organisation or place of work could help the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) continue with our vital work as the only UK charity focused on supporting people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Every year, we benefit from generous giving from corporations, helping conscious and thoughtful groups do something meaningful whilst also meeting their corporate social responsibility.
Whether it’s a one-off fundraiser or donation, regular giving or long-term partnership, having your workplace involved in supporting the TSA will make a massive difference to individuals, families and whole communities in the UK who live with the impact of a TSC diagnosis.
There many ways that you and your organisation can get involved. Find out more about the options below or download our Corporate Fundraising Pack. Please contact our team if you want to talk more.

Partner with us
We have found that corporate partnerships work best when we find ways that you can support us whilst fitting around your business objectives and skills. This can create a lasting partnership that you and your team can be proud of!
Below are some ideas of ways you can support the TSA, but we know every business is different so please do get in touch with any questions.
Charity of the Year
Create with us a long term, mutually beneficial partnership where your company or team adopts the TSA as its ‘Charity of the Year’ to maximise the benefits for both parties. This is a fantastic way to motivate and unite your employees while helping us raise vital funds and awareness for our cause.
Nominating a Charity of the Year at work is a great way to:
- Motivate, develop and support employees
- Increase public awareness of your brand
- Increase customer loyalty
- Demonstrate commitment to your community, customers and important stakeholders
Sponsorship or give a gift
Your organisation might decide to sponsor one of our community or professional events. The organisation could even provide us with the means to create an important awareness campaigns, or an innovative initiative that gives us the best chance of making pioneering discoveries.
Whatever your organisation’s interests, we’ll find the right opportunity to suit your business needs.
There’s plenty of opportunity to shape sponsorship packages for specific or broad areas of our work, whither it’s a gift or a longstanding agreement on a specific topic or project.

Cause-related partnerships
This is a fantastic way to align your products and services with our cause, drive sales, reach new audiences and help us spread our vital message.
If your brand has a product or service that makes for a good fit with our cause, then a commercial agreement to donate a proportion of its profits to us could be a mutually beneficial partnership.
Have you got an exciting idea for a new product or commercial collaboration? Get in touch.
Introducing our new partners: Work for Good
If you would like to donate £ or % of your product or service sales to us, you can do this via our partners Work for Good .
Many people are unaware that you need a Commercial Participation Agreement in place before you can start raising money for a charity through your sales and publicising it.
So we use Work for Good as they sort out the legal contract required for this type of fundraising to happen, saving you heaps of time and helping us keep track of your wonderful support.
Events
With skydives, cycle rides, treks and runs, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with our general events series.
Fundraising for an event is a great way to get your whole team involved in fun activities whilst raising money to help people with TSC.
Why not take part in a local event, many events have corporate schemes such as marathon relays or a team triathlon, so you can share the challenge between your team members!
No matter how big or small your organisation is, an event to raise important funds to help us support the TSC community is always massively appreciated.
Payroll giving
Payroll giving (sometimes called ‘Give as you Earn’) is a really easy way for employees paid by PAYE to give regularly to a charity such as the TSA.
Payroll Giving is also a very tax effective way to support us – because your payroll donations taken before monthly taxes are applied to your pay check, we get your donation plus whatever would have been taken in tax. For example, if you are on the standard tax rate (20%) and you donate £10, we end up with £12.50!
Your regular contribution will mean that we can plan well into the future and make sure we provide the best services for people affected by TSC.
Other ways to give
Businesses can also help TSA in ways other than giving cash. Companies can donate volunteers and expertise, equipment or event supplies.
Ideas include:
- Volunteering at our flagship fundraising events
- Support us with your expertise – do you have skills you could ‘donate’ to the charity?
- Printing our information leaflets, brochures or fundraising packs or other services
- Hosting a TSA collection tin in your business
If you want to discuss your idea please get in touch.
Fundraising at work
There are lots of fantastic ways to fundraise for TSA and we’re always coming up with innovative ways to get your employees motivated.
Whether it be a dress down day, Christmas jumper party or lunch time virtual talent show, what fantastic ways can you and everyone at work come together to make a difference to the lives of those with TSC?
We can also work with you to create exciting, bespoke fundraising events for your organisation. Tailored to your needs and with your employees’ input, this will be sure to ignite their enthusiasm and make our partnership an even bigger success.
Matched Funding
Many organisations choose to support their employee’s fantastic generosity of charity donations by matching the money that they raise. This is a fantastic way to motivate staff and to show support for important causes, like the TSA.
If you are raise money for the TSA, remember to check with your place of work if they match charity fundraising.
