Cause marketing is a collaboration between a for-profit business and a nonprofit organization for a common benefit. The breadth and depth of Children's Wisconsin's programs and services mean endless opportunities to align with your organization's mission and vision.

Cause marketing can take a number of formats, including:
“If it had not been for the quick thinking and highly skilled team working in the Children’s Wisconsin emergency department, our daughter would not be alive today. So, when our family came up with an idea to give back (Do Good with Food) we brought it to the Children’s Wisconsin foundation team in 2019. From there the process was seamless and we knew right where we wanted the proceeds to go."
– Leanne Fazzari, Grateful parent and corporate partner
