For example, businesses often commit to donating a certain percentage of every sale or total revenue to a nonprofit.

This will help you build a positive reputation in the public eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brand Awareness and Perception<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; As you build your reputation through a charity partnership, brand awareness will naturally increase as you reach the nonprofit&#8217;s audience as well as your own, and the public&#8217;s perception of your business will continue to improve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community Engagement<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; As members of the community wish to get involved with the nonprofit to support its mission, they will also become increasingly engaged with your business.

Partnering with a nonprofit adds an important element to the experience of working for your business. Employees can feel good that the work they are doing is supporting a good cause while feeling like they are also fulfilling a higher purpose in their lives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer Loyalty<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; When customers know that choosing to do business with you also means choosing to support a good cause, they&#8217;ll want to keep coming back.

You and your potential partner will need to agree on the kind of partnership you wish to form. Some examples of partnership models include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sponsorships<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>&#8211; The business provides financial support in exchange for brand exposure and positive publicity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supply and Service Sharing<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>&#8211; Nonprofits and businesses share services and supplies through their mission and\/or in-kind donations to improve efficiency and reduce costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skill-Based Volunteers<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; The business encourages employees and\/or helps to facilitate volunteer time where employees share their skills and expertise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workplace Giving<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; Employees can donate directly through payroll deductions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cause Marketing<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; Businesses sell a specific product, donate a portion of the proceeds, and increase awareness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grant Making<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>&#8211; Businesses offer grant programs, accept proposals, and award funds to deserving nonprofits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px;\"><span style=\"color: #708c50;\">Write an Agreement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve determined your objectives and the type of partnership you wish to form, put it in writing.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px;\"><span style=\"color: #708c50;\">Communicate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As is the case in any relationship, communication is key to a successful corporate-nonprofit partnership.

Feel free to talk about what&#8217;s working, what isn&#8217;t, and what you would like to change going forward to continuously improve the relationship and maximize the benefits for both parties.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"measure\" data-hs-anchor=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Measure the Benefits of Partnerships With an Automated Back Office<\/h2>\n<p>The purpose of a corporate-nonprofit partnership is to create a mutually beneficial relationship, and the only way to know whether or not your nonprofit or business is benefiting is to set goals, track progress, and measure your success. To do this, you&#8217;ll need a robust, high-functioning back office that automates data collection across departments while streamlining reporting processes. With your back office keeping track of the benefits, you&#8217;ll be free to enjoy getting more involved with your strategic charity partnership<\/p>\n<div class=\"hs-cta-embed hs-cta-simple-placeholder hs-cta-embed-184623741236\" style=\"max-width:100%; max-height:100%; width:690px;height:219.24609375px; margin: 0 auto; display: block; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px\" data-hubspot-wrapper-cta-id=\"184623741236\" align=\"center\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growthforce.com\/hs\/cta\/wi\/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJBXkjD6obpcC70edfdLIPnmWKkU4XFsLEklfXnuY57NLR%2FuidX5Y5rj49byRrP8psxY48fxKeV4kCmPUszrRTmBC765NF%2BPMvLzzrPRhDfLT75Wz6TeOZc9FBs8vs6zzby3Sf6qzMsK%2F9grXzYI9X6OLVdwyhOXUinJcImXSWs0Zxt5cb1&amp;webInteractiveContentId=184623741236&amp;portalId=549461\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GrowthForce No Tagline-1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/549461\/interactive-184623741236.png\" style=\"height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: fill; margin: 0 auto; display: block; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" align=\"center\"\/> <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '174246963156137');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.0\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 min read March 4th, 2024 \u00a0 Charity partnerships \u2014\u00a0nonprofits\u00a0teaming up with for-profit businesses \u2014 are a clever way for nonprofits to expand their mission impact and for businesses to improve their bottom line.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":116210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11759],"tags":[11170,28152,23598],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-116209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-accounting","tag-businesses","tag-collaborations","tag-nonprofits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
