The Foundation of Light
Join the footballing movement that is changing the lives of
children, young people and adults forever by getting involved
with the Foundation of Light.
Foundation of Light, the registered charity of Sunderland AFC,
is one of the country’s best football charities changing tens
of thousands of lives across the North East every year
through football.
Financially independent of the football club the organisation
relies on fundraising for 90% of project costs, receiving support
from over 100 businesses every year who in return receive access
to fantastic Foundation events and experiences.
In addition to these events and experiences more than 70% of
SAFC fans surveyed felt more positive towards companies that
work with the Foundation so supporting Foundation of Light can
have additional benefits for you and your team.
If you’re running a business you can get involved in a number of
different ways:
Corporate Membership
At just £250 (+VAT) this package gets you exclusive invites to
Foundation of Light events attended by Sunderland AFC key
figures including Directors and the SAFC first team.
Charity Partner
Partners can sponsor programmes in line with their business
values; fundraise in partnership supported by the Foundation;
access bespoke Sunderland AFC team-building experiences
and fun days; and much more. A great way to demonstrate your
company’s CSR, develop your staff and have a lot of fun in
the process.
Sponsored Events
Get your business and employees involved in high profile
Foundation events throughout the year such as Zip Wear,
Fashion Strikes, Show Your Colours and the Foundation Fives
Corporate Football Tournament. Events offer a high return
on investment for brand visibility and sponsors gain access to
exclusive events packages.

Businesses taking part in all initiatives also receive mentions
on Foundation of Light’s dedicated website and in their
annual Yearbook which is distributed to some of the region’s
most influential people.
