Why Companies Partner With LMTD
Become part of a story worth telling.
Many organizations ask companies to support a mission. LMTD invites companies to become Difference Makers.
When your company sponsors a program, you’re not funding overhead or contributing to a vague cause. You’re helping refugee leaders build businesses, teach entrepreneurship, reduce violence, strengthen communities, and create opportunities that continue long after the donation is made.
Outcomes You Can Measure
- A peacebuilding program that reduced violence by an estimated 60% in two refugee settlements.
- A refugee-owned bakery that produced up to 12,000 loaves of bread each month while creating jobs and improving food security.
- Leadership and entrepreneurship programs actively growing across eleven countries.
Transparency You Can Trust
Every sponsorship is tied to specific programs, specific leaders, and specific outcomes. Your team receives the numbers, stories, photos, and reporting needed to demonstrate meaningful impact.
A Partnership Your Employees Can Rally Behind
Today’s employees want to work for companies that stand for something meaningful. Sponsorship creates opportunities for your team to engage directly with the work, hear from leaders on the ground, and see the impact they’re helping create.
Brand-Safe, Human-Centered Impact
Our work focuses on economic empowerment, peacebuilding, entrepreneurship, education, and community-led development. Programs are locally led, apolitical, and designed to strengthen communities from within.
Help Rebuild What Matters
In early 2026, the refugee-owned Knead to Feed Bakery in Kenya was severely damaged by flooding.
Before the storm, the bakery received funding for an upgrade to enable the production of 12,000 loaves of bread per month. It provided employment opportunities for up to 12 refugees, and improved food security throughout the settlement.
Today, Difference Makers around the world are helping to rebuild. We’re using some existing equipment and seeking help for production supplies..
For companies looking to create visible, measurable impact, this is a rare opportunity to help restore a program that communities already depend on.
Your sponsorship can help put people back to work, restore food production, and strengthen the future of an entire community.

Custom Partnerships
For companies that want to create something extraordinary.
Beyond annual sponsorships, LMTD partners with organizations on program underwriting, multi-year initiatives, cause-marketing campaigns, employee giving programs, matching gift programs, event sponsorships, and in-kind support.
Whether you’re looking to sponsor a bakery, support peacebuilding, or create a campaign that connects your products to a meaningful cause, we’ll help design a partnership that aligns with your mission.
Become a Founding Corporate Partner
The first companies to partner with LMTD will hold a position no future sponsor can claim.
Founding Partner status includes early visibility, enhanced recognition, influence in shaping the sponsorship program, and the opportunity to be known as one of the first organizations to support refugee-led development through LMTD.
Help shape what this movement becomes.
Reporting You Can Bring To Your Board
Every sponsor receives clear documentation of the impact they’re helping create.
Depending on your sponsorship level, reporting may include:
Program metrics and outcomes
Photos from the field
Stories from program participants
Named leaders and project updates
Financial accountability reports
Annual partnership reports
This isn’t generic nonprofit reporting.
It’s proof of impact you can share with leadership, employees, customers, and stakeholders.

If your company wants to do more than write a check, we’d love to talk.
Questions sponsors ask
Is our sponsorship tax-deductible?
LMTD is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 84-1728140). Sponsorship payments may qualify as a charitable contribution or a business marketing expense, depending on the benefits received and applicable tax regulations. We provide all necessary documentation for your records. Consult your tax advisor.
How often will we get impact reporting?
The cadence scales with your tier: quarterly impact features at Root and above, and an annual partnership report at Harvest. Every report ties to the specific program you back.
Can two companies in the same industry both sponsor?
At higher tiers, category exclusivity is available: LMTD agrees not to take a competing brand’s sponsorship for the same program for the term.
Are multi-year commitments welcome?
Yes. Multi-year partnerships are welcome and preferred at the upper tiers. Let’s talk through what works for your planning cycle.
How is our money used?
Thanks to low overhead, founder investment, and a volunteer-led structure, 75%–90% of donor dollars currently goes directly to programs in the field. The remaining 10%–25% supports essential operations that make the work possible, including compliance, technology, communications, and fundraising.
Our long-term goal is for corporate sponsors and operational partners to cover administrative costs, allowing 100% of public donations to fund impact in the communities we serve.
