Winning Corporate partnerships: an inside view of three case studies
 

Obtaining money from the corporate sector can be tricky, and sometimes the only way to understand how it is done is to see successful partnerships at work. In this session, you'll closely examine three case studies to get real life feedback on how winning corporate-nonprofit relationships actually work. We will look at the following:
- Corporate sponsorship case study
- Cause marketing case study
- Multi-year corporate grant case study

Join this session to get some hands-on instruction on making corporate partnerships successful.
