Corporate Partnerships
“Fulfill your CSR goals by empowering social entrepreneurs. Not only will this partnership enhance your public image, but it will also provide meaningful engagement opportunities for your employees.”
We partner with companies to create mutually beneficial relationships that enhance your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, boost employee happiness and engagement, and showcase your commitment to social good to your customers. Supporting Bridging Gaps means contributing to the success of entrepreneurs across the Global South who are working on various social businesses and innovations aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, an energy company can support entrepreneurs developing solar-powered charging stations, while an agricultural company can back entrepreneurs growing and providing food in refugee settlements. This will not only give you a way to make a positive change and enhance brand reputation, but also provides tax-benefits for your company (we are registered as a non-profit “gUG” in Germany). Example: We have partnered with the language learning company Babbel. Babbel employees engage in corporate volunteering, supporting our team at Bridging Gaps with expertise in areas like PR and Google Ads. Additionally, Babbel provides free access to their app for Bridging Gaps microloan recipients, entrepreneurs, and our team. Whether through financial support, corporate volunteering, employee donation drives, or joint marketing campaigns, we are excited to collaborate with you to make a meaningful impact.
Collaborations with Foundations, United Nations, and Humanitarian Partners
“Join us in our mission to empower social entrepreneurs globally. Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, our partnership can create a significant impact.”
We welcome the support of foundations, United Nations agencies, and humanitarian partners to help us achieve our vision through joint projects. By partnering with us, you can amplify the impact of our microloan initiatives, reaching a broader audience and creating lasting global change. Example: Our partnership with UNHCR in the Bidibidi Refugee Settlement addresses the barriers refugees face in accessing banking systems, financial markets, entrepreneurship education, and opportunities. Together with our CBO partner, Afri-Youth Network, we provide entrepreneurship training, microloans, long-term coaching, and mentorship to local entrepreneurs, with a strong emphasis on female participation. Funded by UNHCR, this initiative directly benefits up to 60 refugee entrepreneurs. By fostering their self-sufficiency, the project creates a ripple effect of new income sources, reducing inequality, breaking the cycle of poverty, and increasing community sustainability, social justice and equal opportunities.
Partnerships with NGOs, CBOs, and Local Communities
“Partner with us to empower entrepreneurs in your community. Through microloans, we can together foster self-reliance and drive local development.”
We actively seek partnerships with NGOs, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and local communities, recognizing their crucial role in the success of our community microloan projects. Our collaborative efforts allow you to provide vital support and resources to aspiring social entrepreneurs in your area, empowering them to start and grow their businesses and enabling positive transformation for their communities. This not only benefits the entrepreneurs but also supports their families and communities. Our ideal partners are those who already offer local entrepreneurship training and have strong ties with their community, focusing on long-term development and sustainable progress. Example: Our partnership with Afri-Youth Network, a community-based, refugee-led organization in the Bidibidi refugee settlement, is a testament to the impact we can achieve together. Together, we host entrepreneurship trainings, incubation programs, peer-to-peer mentorship, and provide microloans to refugee entrepreneurs building their social businesses.

"As an artist and an entrepreneur myself, I am always looking for inspiring projects related to these topics. When I saw Joska’s fabrics and designs, I immediately fell in love and knew I wanted to support her business. I am so happy to be a part of her story, receive updates about her successes, and to support her in providing an income for her family."
– Piera Mattioli, Entrepreneur & Artist
"I felt so happy receiving the microloan to start my business as a tailor. I am now able to support my family and give back to my community by providing school clothing for children. This year, I was able to employ three other refugee women in my business which helps them to be self-reliant and feel empowered. Sewing is what we love and where our passion lies."
