Partnerships

  • Sometimes a company does not need to look for a new nonprofit to develop a signature initiative, but can find one within its current partnerships. The exploratory work of a small grant or limited short-term partnership can become the future long-term engagement.
  • Build additional attributes into your grants to nonprofit partners such as opportunities for employee involvement, senior representation, and public relations/marketing opportunities.
  • The clients you represent, your employees’ skill sets, governmental relationships, and marketing platforms can be effective and beneficial resources to a nonprofit. Many times there are only limited incremental costs associated with tapping these resources on their behalf.
