Business partnerships

How Can Nonprofits Build Better Business Partnerships?

A good partnership should create value in both directions.

  2. Business
  3. Ask

  4. Relationship
  5. Impact

Stop Starting With the Ask

Traditional opening: "Will your company donate?"

Better opening: "Can we help your company solve something first?"

A business may need

  • Funding
  • Savings
  • Better technology
  • Marketing
  • Employee solutions
  • Operational improvements

The nonprofit may then gain

  • Trust
  • Relationships
  • Referrals
  • Sponsorship
  • Community participation
  • Donations
  • Eligible OfferGRID compensation

Potential outcomes vary. No financial result is guaranteed.

Why the Ecosystem Matters

OfferGRID connects businesses with vetted opportunities related to saving money, making money, accessing funding, improving technology, improving marketing and reducing operating expenses. ImpactGRID gives nonprofits a credible reason to open that conversation.
