Securing corporate sponsors can provide a big boost to your organization's fundraising efforts and bottom line budget. This course will provide you with the tips & tools you'll need to cultivate a long-lasting relationship with a corporate partner committed to your not-for-profit and its work.

A fresh approach towards Corporate Giving also involves "Cause Marketing", the sale of goods and services, which is growing as a source of funding for not-for-profits. This course will also provide you with the ins & outs of Cause Marketing including tax and legal considerations for both seller and buyers.

Highlights Include:

  • Understanding what motivates corporations to give
  • Best methods for corporate prospect research and choosing your corporate partners
  • Leveraging corporate giving opportunities: Matching gifts, challenge grants, and in-kind support
  • Sponsorships: a "win" for both not-for-profit and corporate sponsors
  • Launching a "Cause Marketing" campaign and incorporating it with your corporate giving package
  • Cultivating multi-tiered relationships with your corporate partners: Employee giving and volunteer programs
  • Examples of Cause Marketing income generating activities
  • Product Marketing - becoming an independent seller or partnering with a for-profit within a licensing arrangement 
  • Legal considerations for product & service sales
  • Getting the most out of Cause Marketing: cultivating new corporate partners, growing corporate and individual giving

This 75 minute seminar includes a Q&A and discussion of strategic problem solving and Development How To’s.
