To The Missing Piece Foundation a corporate partnership is one that is characterized by mutual cooperation and responsibility to the mission of empowering children with the tools and information they need to live a better life. We do welcome inquiries from companies that believe they fulfill this role.
Several options are available to directly underwrite a specific activity or special event for the Foundation. Organizations or individuals may underwrite several activities, including cause-related marketing, the employee giving program, special meetings and events, or event sponsorship. The Missing Piece Foundation will consider a variety of projects and activities which support and further the mission of the Foundation.

Pledging a percentage of sales, proceeds or a predetermined sum to benefit Children's Memorial
Making a donation in a client's name in lieu of gifts, awards, etc.
A paper icon sold at the register
Change collection devices

CHSU's Giving Program
CHSU employee and Mother of two Marie Gallaway says she gives to The Missing Piece Foundation through payroll deductions because it is a cause close to his heart. “It's good to know that every dollar I give is optimized and given back to a cause that is truly impacting the global community. I am honored to give my piece and be a part of such a wonderful cause,” says Gallaway.
CHSU encourages employees to decide how their contributions should benefit The Missing Piece Foundation. Gallaway and her co-workers chose to fund computers and monitors to the Foundation who in turns distributes them to Title I educational institutions so that children may be empowered in the educational arena. In addition, they supported the Chosen to be Angels Program, which provides support to families of limited financial means who have children in charitable hospitals, enabling them to purchase medication, get medical counseling, afford extended car, etc.
