KIB coordinates customized days of service for your team year-round. Your investment will directly return to you in increased employee satisfaction, productivity, and engagement. This is a unique team-building opportunity for your employees and clients to make an impact in our city.
We love working with our corporate partners to create days of service that are meaningful and fun for your company, helping people and nature thrive in Indy. We provide the project, training, and tools; you provide the team and positive attitudes. This is a great opportunity for engaging your clients, employees, and their family members.
KIB PROJECTS
KIB staff are skilled and experienced in volunteer project management. Custom day(s) of service are typically hosted on weekdays, 9 a.m. to noon, and include tools, supplies, and water. As our partner, you can select from a variety of opportunities:
AES Indiana Project GreenSpace: Help eliminate blight and revitalize public spaces to create greenspaces and pocket parks throughout Indy. 5 – 50 volunteers are typically needed.
Community Forestry: Assist KIB as we plant nearly 3,000 trees during spring and fall months. 10 – 200 volunteers are typically needed.
Habitat Restoration: Remove invasive plants and trees along rivers and streams to open up views of the waterways and improve urban habitats. 25 – 100 volunteers are typically needed
Park Projects: Beautify Indianapolis public local parks by mulching playgrounds, painting benches and shelters, and planting native plants and trees. 15 – 50 volunteers are typically needed
FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
We ask that as a Custom Day of Service partner, your company make a financial commitment. Sponsorship levels vary depending on group size. In addition to a high-impact day of service and team-building, your company will receive valuable brand recognition through a diverse stream of marketing and promotion channels, as well as invitations to KIB’s annual Appreciation Dinner. We would love to design a special day of service customized specifically to meet your company goals!
To learn more about the how your company can engage with KIB, contact Michael Sharp, our Director of Development, at msharp@kibi.org.
