Thursday May 24, 2018: Corporate Partnerships – Road to Success or Ruin?

Some charities have success creating and maintaining fundraising partnerships with companies. But many struggle to achieve success. In this workshop we will examine best practices in corporate philanthropic and sponsorship relationships. To start, we will bust some of the myths. Then, we will take a step-by-step look at what you will need to create and manage a successful corporate program, including: staff and volunteer skills and abilities, policies, and organization-wide understanding and acceptance. At the conclusion of the workshop you will be able to assess your readiness, ability, and willingness to enter the field of corporate partnerships.
