CDI has established several positive relationships with corporate, philanthropic, and government 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.
Featured Partnerships
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 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 in Tallaght and other areas where Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates, including Clonshaugh, Drogheda, and Blanchardstown. This enabled children and schools in these areas to avail of evidence-based literacy supports.
Microsoft
We are delighted to have received funding from Microsoft to pilot Restorative approaches to addressing 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 Centers
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.
