A corporate charity partnership is a collaboration between a business or a corporate entity and a charity who share a passion and commitment to sustainable social change. It usually involves a charity receiving funds, goods, or services in exchange for something the corporate partner sees as beneficial. In many cases, by providing a charity with access to extra funds, resources or services, a good corporate partnership can help a charity extend its reach and impact in the community much farther than if it acted alone.
Corporate charity partnerships can also improve charities’ efficiency, build their public standing, and provide them with experience and knowledge they can use – now and into the future. They can also help a charity better engage with organisations in the corporate sector – something which, if done well, can bring with it immediate and ongoing benefits.
We will work with you to build your corporate partnerships strategy. By working with us, we will create a strategy that feels co-owned by your trustees and organization, ensuring that everyone knows what will be required to achieve success – including realistic expectations and timescales – ensuring you can deliver your mission faster and with greater certainty.
We will co-create your corporate partnership’s strategy with you to ensure it truly belongs to you, has the cross organisational buy-in required to succeed and can be built upon year on year with the skills you will have learned.
We hosted a Corporate Fundraisers Forum with The Wheel in February 2024. This forum consisted of a monthly corporate partnership learning session over a 5 month period, connecting 17 fundraisers from a range of nonprofits to discuss and develop their corporate partnerships action plan.
