Three key takeaways:-

  • Don’t be solely fixated on money when identifying your top prospects and don’t underestimate the significance of gift in kind and pro-bono support.

​

  • Patience and persistence pays off. Sometimes the partnerships that take the longest to secure will also last the longest and have the biggest impact not only for your charity but also for the corporate too.

​

  • Make sure the partnership has equal benefits for both parties.
