Why It Matters
Too many nonprofits rely on a few grants and a loyal group of donors, and every leader knows how risky that is. Meanwhile, corporate partners, lapsed donors, and new revenue streams often go untapped, simply because no one has had time to pursue them.
We help you find them, and build the systems to keep them.

FAQs
We’ve never had corporate partners. Where do we start?
With what you already have: your mission, your audience, and your community relationships. We’ll identify the companies most likely to support your work and build your first offers from there.
Will corporate partnerships compromise our mission?
Not when they’re built right. The strongest partnerships start with shared values, and we help you set clear guidelines for who you partner with and how.
Do you replace our development director?
No. We work alongside your development team, or you, if fundraising is on your plate, adding strategy, corporate partnership expertise, and a fresh set of eyes.
