Nonprofit Insights: Making It Last with For-Profit Companies

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The world of corporate-nonprofit partnerships is shifting – in a major way. The simple partnerships that used to characterize how nonprofits and for-profits worked together have become complicated, integrated relationships. If you want to increase your organization's fundraising, brand awareness, volunteer involvement and build highly-effective partnerships with for-profit organizations, check out this VolunteerMatch webinar with Bruce Burtch, a leading expert in the field of cross-sector partnerships and cause marketing. Bruce walks us through the sea change occurring in the nonprofit/for-profit relationship, and shares strategies for attracting and securing partnerships with companies that can create long-term benefits beyond simple funding. No matter what your experience working with companies, this presentation will help you gain an updated perspective on how nonprofits can build strong, lasting relationships with companies.
