Corporate partnerships can be highly beneficial. As well as financial support, corporates can also offer their time and expertise to help upskill your team and promote your message to a wider audience.
Support can include one off donations, sponsorships, gifts in kind, cause related marketing, charity of the year and volunteering. Although highly beneficial, corporate partnerships can also be complex. They can involve considerable due diligence and in some cases commercial partnership agreements will need to be developed and put in place.
Today companies are looking to work with charities on many different levels and therefore building relationships and managing them closely is essential for long term success.
Concise has years of experience of building and managing corporate partnerships and we can offer you the following support:
Corporate audit: Review your current supporters and assess how your existing programme can be strengthened and your communications improved.
Prospect research: Research and identify companies who business and CSR criteria align well with your charity and values.
Making the right approach: Support with writing engaging proposals and presentations, ensuring your charity is showcased well and all elements of the partnership are considered.
Corporate fundraising training: Support to upskill your team in writing corporate proposals and delivering winning presentations.

"We were extremely happy with the service Concise provided. Concise worked with the organisation whilst going through considerable internal changes, but was still able to work quickly and autonomously, ensuring a high volume of quality bids were researched, written and submitted.
