Are you tired of feeling like your organization is always “begging” for dollars with limited results?

Do you wonder how to have a potential business partner see the value of an alliance with your nonprofit organization?

Do you know what businesses really want from their community connections and involvement?

Do you have a clear sense of what assets your nonprofit brings to the table in any partnership with a business?

Have you thought about what organizational needs, beyond dollars, a business partnership could help you address?

Are you treating your existing business partners as “cash cows” or do you have a deeper win-win relationship?

Businesses are bombarded daily with requests from nonprofit organizations, all working on critical local issues. Do you know how to make your organization stand out?
Many nonprofits have limited experience thinking of business relationships as being a two-way street or viewing themselves as assets capable of addressing business needs. Instead, when talking to business people, they focus on self-promotion and their own needs.

However, to create a long-term, sustainable partnership or connection, both sides must benefit just like in any other lasting relationship. What’s more, businesses and nonprofits often have trouble communicating with each other about expectations, roles, and desired outcomes for their joint efforts in the community. It’s as if they come from two different worlds.

This course will help your nonprofit organization develop strategic, win/win connections with businesses that give you access to resources that can truly benefit your work.
