Every company wants to give back. But how do you choose the right organization, one that’s local, meaningful, and actually shows you where your support is going?
That’s why Corporate Giving for Kids In Crisis stands apart.
We’re not just a good cause. We’re a boots-on-the-ground response team for youth in crisis, right here in Fairfield County. From emergency shelter to 24/7 crisis support to mental health counselors in schools, we provide care where it matters most. And with five tailored partnership options, your company can align its values with real outcomes for kids and families in your own community.
5 Powerful Ways to Get Involved
1. Adopt-A-School
Support a TeenTalk counselor in a local school by “adopting” that site for a month ($6,000) or a semester ($36,000). Your donation funds direct mental health care for students, and your company receives impact updates, recognition in the community, and even signage in the TeenTalk office. It’s a visible, powerful act of corporate leadership.
2. Sponsor-a-Session: Fuel a Conversation, Fund a Counselor
Sponsor a one-time Lunch & Learn event at your workplace, while also covering the cost of a TeenTalk counselor for a full week ($1,385). It’s a turnkey opportunity for companies that want a meaningful, self-contained engagement that benefits both your employees and students in crisis.
3. The Listening Partner Initiative
Make a lasting commitment to youth mental health by supporting one local school for three years. At just $2,000 per year, your company becomes a “Listening Partner,” receiving behind-the-scenes updates, impact stories, and opportunities for employee engagement with the counselor making a difference every day.
4. Build the Bridge: Corporate Giving Circles
For small and mid-sized businesses, this is corporate philanthropy made collaborative. Join forces with other local companies to fully fund a TeenTalk counselor together. Your company receives shared recognition, while the community sees tangible results.
5. Corporate Volunteer Events
From packing school supplies and decorating cards for single moms to hosting virtual mindfulness sessions with therapists, these hands-on events bring your employees together around a shared purpose. We make it easy, meaningful, and team-driven.
Why Corporate Giving for Kids In Crisis Works
Because it’s real. Because it’s local. Because it’s needed now.
When your company supports Kids In Crisis, you’re helping students manage depression and anxiety, families navigate trauma, and schools respond to the growing mental health needs of our youth.
Unlike many national nonprofits, your impact here is visible. Your employees can meet the people behind the work. You’ll hear stories, not just stats. And most importantly, you’ll know that your company played a direct role in making help available when a young person had nowhere else to turn.
