Webinar Overview

Are you planning to embed a corporate partnerships strategy into your organisation this year to help build a diverse income stream?  If the answer is Yes, then you’ll need to get your Board on Board.  Or you may already be on the corporate partnerships journey but not seeing the support you need from your Board.

Some non-profit boards lack a clear understanding of the modern corporate landscape, how it differs from a corporate donation, and the skills and time needed to secure genuine and long-term corporate partners. This knowledge gap can lead to unrealistic expectations being placed on YOU – the person responsible for generating income (whether you’re a CEO, BDM or Fundraiser).  Therefore, educating and enrolling your Board to corporate partnerships is crucial.

By the end of the session, you will:

• Gain insights into the evolving corporate partnership landscape and how a partnership differs from a corporate gift or donation
• Understand the key elements of organisational readiness as well as partner readiness
• Discover why corporates are great for generating income but also for building awareness of your organisation, cause, and key behaviour changing messages
• Learn actionable tips for educating and enrolling your Board, ensuring alignment and realistic goal setting
• Explore real world examples of how other non profits have successfully enrolled their Board, and how they navigated the challenges and opportunities that relate to corporate partnerships
• Gain exclusive insights direct from a fundraiser, CEO, Board member, Board specialist and corporate partnerships experts
• Explore the mismatch between what Boards often think a corporate partnership entails vs the reality – understand the specific areas where education is needed to bridge the gap
• Walk away with a free tool that enables you to set a realistic Intention for your corporate partnerships’ strategy
• Walk away with a free PowerPoint Board presentation that you can edit and use in your own organisation

Ask questions of a fundraiser, CEO, Board member and corporate partnerships experts.

If you have a probing question, add this when you register, and it will be included in the list of possible questions put to the Panel (we cannot guarantee that your question will be asked, and sometimes we get several questions that are similar, so we combine them.  Thank you for your understanding.  Instructions on how to submit your question will be included in your confirmation email after enrolment. 

There may be time on the day to answer additional questions from guests, however priority will be given to those submitted upon registration.
