Empowering Education Through Local Business Support
The MAC Foundation Business Partnership Programme provides a structured way for local businesses to contribute to the success of Mount Aspiring College through annual financial or in-kind support. The programme is designed to build predictable fundraising income, deepen community engagement, and showcase local businesses as active contributors to educational equity, excellence, and wellbeing.
The programme is closely aligned with the Foundation’s mission and directly contributes to the “now” fundraising goals, providing meaningful contributions to the school.
How the programme works
We encourage our business partners to go beyond simply giving, and to join us as active collaborators who help shape lasting opportunities and strengthen our college community.
The partnership model is relational and mutually beneficial. Businesses aren’t just donors; they’re collaborators in the Foundation’s mission. In return for their support — whether financial or in-kind — they gain meaningful visibility, connection, and a sense of shared purpose within the community. This approach builds stronger, longer-term relationships and deeper local impact.
Our outstanding local business community brings a wealth of experience, and we therefore invite each business to meet with one of our trustees to help shape the most effective partnership plan together.
Please reach out via the “Register Your Interest” online form, and one of our trustees will be in touch.
