Developing a Network of Community Support
Partnerships between nonprofit groups and businesses provide invaluable opportunities. Too often, nonprofits look to these joint efforts mainly as a source of contributions toward their social mission. Collaboration can increase funding but sometimes, even more importantly, it can increase access to knowledge-based resources and improve the relevance and effectiveness of programs and services. The ideas and lessons in this guide draw directly from the experiences of 27 business/nonprofit alliances funded by The Hitachi Foundation. These projects demonstrated effective alliances that benefit the business and nonprofit partners as well as the larger community. This seminar can serve as a basic roadmap for nonprofits that are attempting to recruit first-time business partners or trying to maximize the returns on existing business partnerships. We will offer guidance rather than prescriptive plans.
