CDI has established a number of positive relationships with corporate organisations that support our mission to improve outcomes for children and families. These partnerships enable us to innovate and respond to new and engaging needs, trial new working methods, and replicate our proven interventions in underserved communities.
In addition to a range of small grants received, we have ongoing and significant partnerships with the following companies:
An Post
An Post is a crucial partner in implementing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Tallaght, Dublin 24. They provide access to their distribution network and also cover the technical costs of all related postage and packaging. And of course, it is an An Post staff that physically delivers over 5,000 books every month!
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
We were proud to partner with AWS in expanding our Doodle Den and Imagination Library Initiatives Tallaght and other areas where Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates, including Clonshaugh, Drogheda and Blanchardstown, enabling children and schools in these areas to avail of evidence-based literacy supports.
We are delighted to have received funding from Microsoft to pilot the use of Restorative approaches as a mechanism to address intergenerational trauma. This innovative initiative will combine best practices drawn from emotional intelligence, attachment theories and restorative practices to enable healing and growth.
Google Data Centres
Google Data Centres funded the development of our Doodle Steam programme. Working with Dublin City University, we have created highly accessible and fun-to-use resources that parents and children love! We are looking forward to having the findings from the independent evaluation of Doodle Steam, which builds on the previous review of delivery.
With your support, we can further this impact; contact us to get involved.
