Establishing corporate partnerships can be a major source of fundraising
for nonprofit organizations. With so many organizations emphasizing social
responsibility, you may find that companies are willing to sponsor or
underwrite your organization's programs or events, especially if your group's
efforts align with the company's mission or values. Corporate partnerships also
often include matching gift arrangements, with the company matching any dollars
donated by their employees with an equivalent donation. Corporations that
partner with nonprofits also sometimes lend their employees or executives to
nonprofits to help raise money or serve as volunteers.
