How your organisation can support the BDA

Charity of the Year

Choosing the BDA as your Charity of the Year is an opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Together, we can create a partnership that inspires your employees, raises vital funds and increases understanding of dyslexia. We’ll work with you to develop a programme that aligns with your organisation’s goals, whether that’s employee engagement, inclusion, wellbeing or social impact.

Employee fundraising
Fundraising is a great way to bring colleagues together while supporting an important cause.

From bake sales and quiz nights to sponsored challenges and workplace events, there are many ways to get involved. Whether you’re planning a single activity or a year-long programme, we’ll support you with ideas, resources and encouragement.

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is one of the easiest and most tax-efficient ways for employees to support our work.

Employees can make regular donations directly from their gross salary, providing sustainable funding that helps us support more people with dyslexia.

Sponsorship opportunities

There are many ways your organisation can support our work through sponsorship. This could include sponsoring campaigns, research, events, conferences, awards, resources or awareness initiatives. We’ll work with you to identify opportunities that align with your organisation’s objectives while helping us reach more people with information, support and services.

Matched giving

Many employers will match the money their employees raise or donate, doubling the impact of their support. If your organisation offers matched giving, we'd encourage you to apply. We know the application process can sometimes feel complicated, so we're happy to help complete any charity information or supporting sections of your employer's matched giving form wherever we can. Every pound raised helps us support more children, young people and adults with dyslexia.

Nominate us for your company's charitable giving scheme

Many organisations invite employees to nominate a charity to receive funding through their charitable giving or community programme.

By nominating us, you'll help us continue our work to improve the lives of people with dyslexia through information, support, training, research and campaigning. Together, we're working towards a society where everyone with dyslexia can reach their full potential.

If your employer requires a nomination form or supporting information, we're happy to help. Simply get in touch and we'll help with what you need to support your nomination.

Pro bono support

Not every partnership has to be financial. If your organisation has specialist skills or expertise, we’d love to explore how your support could help strengthen our work. Whether that’s marketing, legal advice, technology, design, communications or another area of expertise, your contribution can have a lasting impact.

Team fundraising and challenge events

Bring your colleagues together while making a real difference. Whether you're taking on a sponsored walk, cycle ride, overseas challenge, virtual step challenge or creating your own team building event, fundraising is a great way to engage employees and support people with dyslexia.

Whatever challenge you choose, we'll be on hand with ideas, resources and fundraising support to help make your event a success.

Become a dyslexia-friendly organisation

Creating a more inclusive society starts with understanding and removing barriers.  

We provide information and services, including our Dyslexia Friendly Workplace Pledge and training, to help your workplace embed inclusive practice.
