Mission Direct’s Partners in Business programme brings together companies that want their commercial success to create lasting social impact.
Through financial support, employee volunteering, professional expertise, fundraising and practical partnership, we work with businesses to build relationships that make a real difference to the communities we serve.
Why partner with Mission Direct?
Mission Direct sends volunteer teams to support community-led projects across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean – work that relies entirely on volunteers and donors, with no statutory funding behind it.
Your support helps cover the costs that keep this work running, strengthens long-term community partnerships, and enables volunteers to serve where they’re needed most. In return, we aim to build a partnership that delivers value for your business, your people and your wider network.
