Q: Can we co‑brand an event or programme with Care2Run?

A: Yes. We welcome co‑branding with aligned partners, especially for flagship day events and long-term campaigns. Co‑branding may include logo placement on event materials, social media mentions, joint press releases, and shared storytelling about impact. We’ll work with your committee and communications team to ensure brand guidelines and messaging are respected while keeping the focus on the children and youth we serve.

Q: Can NGOs or schools collaborate with Care2Run on joint programmes?

A: Your support helps us design and deliver adaptive sports and life‑skills programmes that build confidence, social skills, stamina, and resilience in neurodiverse and underserved young people. Contributions can fund coaching hours for underserved youngsters, safe venues, replenishment of sports equipment, programme subsidies, and capacity‑building for youth leaders and teachers. We prioritise measurable outcomes and can share stories, photos, and key impact indicators after each collaboration.

Q: What information do you need from us to plan a collaboration?

A: Absolutely. Since 2015, we’ve collaborated with NGOs, schools, both international and private special needs schools, and community organisations to run one‑off and recurring programmes. We can co‑design sessions that complement your existing services—such as inclusion days, sports carnivals, team building, holiday camps, or teacher training—while ensuring they are accessible and neurodiversity‑affirming.

Q: How far in advance should we contact you to plan a CSR or joint event?

We typically need:

Type of organisation: corporate, NGO, school, or community group
Objectives: e.g. team‑building, inclusion, staff engagement, community outreach
Preferred dates, times, and locations
Estimated number and profile of participants (staff, youth, families)
HRDF eligibility for corporate development and DEI based programmes
Budget range and any in‑kind resources you can provide. With this, we can propose a tailored programme outline and budget.

Q: Can our employees volunteer with Care2Run as part of our CSR?

A: Ideally, reach out 8–12 weeks in advance for one‑off events and 3–6 months for larger collaborations or annual campaigns. This allows us to secure venues, coaches, volunteers, and, where needed, partner NGOs or schools. For time‑sensitive opportunities, we’ll still do our best to adapt.

Q: How can we start the conversation about corporate giving or collaboration?

A: Yes. Employee volunteering is a powerful part of our CSR collaborations. We provide Volunteer Orientation and on‑ground guidance so your team feels prepared and confident when engaging with neurodiverse and underserved youth. Volunteering can be integrated into a one‑off event or a series of sessions, depending on your goals. Please encourage your employees to register here.

Impact & Programme Value

Q: Are donations or CSR contributions to Care2Run tax‑exempt in Malaysia?

A: Care2Run is a registered non‑profit social enterprise currently working toward tax‑exempt status. Contributions are not yet tax‑deductible. Organisations contributing to HRD Corp may opt to run HRD‑claimable programmes through our certified training partner, enabling partial cost recovery while supporting inclusion.

Q: How can individuals or organisations partner with Care2Run?

A: Partnerships can take many forms: sponsoring a full CSR team‑building cycle, funding specific needs (equipment, meals, transport, venue rental), supporting neurodiversity programmes, or co‑creating long‑term inclusion initiatives. We welcome both financial and in‑kind contributions that strengthen our youth and family ecosystems.

Q: How does our support directly benefit neurodiverse and underserved youth?

Q: How does Care2Run measure programme impact and success?

A: Impact is measured through a structured, co‑designed process with donors that includes:

1. Clear fund‑use guidelines aligned with donor priorities

2. Agreed‑upon metrics such as Quality of Life (QOL) indicators, weekly Level‑2 aerobic activity duration, and access to physical activities

3. A transparent Project Expenditure Report

This mirrors global best practices where NGOs co‑define metrics with partners to ensure accountability and shared ownership of outcomes

Q: How does Care2Run measure the impact of its CSR team‑building programmes?

A: We begin by identifying the organisation’s behavioural challenges or development goals—such as inclusive communication, operational excellence, or coaching skills. We then co‑create Behaviourally Anchored Rating (BAR) definitions to measure how teams reflect, respond, and execute during simulated activities. This approach aligns with global experiential‑learning models used by leading social‑impact organisations.

Q: How does Care2Run determine the cost of a CSR team‑building programme?

A: We use a rational, transparent costing model that considers:

1. Whether the programme is new or existing

2. Hours required for design, facilitation, and reporting

3. Number of facilitators and support staff

4. Required materials, logistics, and venue needs

5. Additional training, certification, or long‑term continuity requirements

This ensures fair pricing while maintaining programme quality and safety.

Q: What makes Care2Run’s CSR programmes different from traditional team‑building?

A: Our programmes are grounded in real‑world inclusion, neurodiversity awareness, and community impact. Teams learn through hands‑on, purpose‑driven experiential activities that strengthen empathy, communication, and collaboration. Every activity contributes directly to empowering neurodiverse youth and families.
