The NGO Guide to Corporate Partnerships
This course is designed for NGO founders, partnership teams, and fundraising teams that want to build stronger and more sustainable relationships with corporate CSR teams. Many NGOs approach corporates only for funding, but successful partnerships require preparation, alignment, trust, compliance, communication, and long-term relationship management.
What Learners Gain:
Learners will understand the CSR ecosystem, what corporates look for in NGO partners, how to identify the right CSR opportunities, how to communicate impact, and how to manage partnerships professionally. The course helps learners move from random outreach to a structured partnership-building approach.
What the Course Entails:
The course includes practical lessons, readiness checklists, prospect mapping, pitch-building exercises, stakeholder management tools, and CSR partnership case study analysis. By the end, learners will create a CSR Partnership Action Plan that can be used by their organisation.
