How to build effective community partnerships: Kristine Ensor shows you how to find the right partners to put your small nonprofit on a path to financial stability.
#021 - Kristine Ensor is an experienced and successful fundraiser and freelance writer.
She has figured out the power of community partnerships to drive long-term support. The great news is YOU can do what Kristine has done! Anyone can. You just have to put in the work of finding the right partners and then cultivate those relationships.
Kristine gives some great insight on just how to do that. Collaborating with a few good partners can free you from the stress of dialing for new dollars every year.
Be sure to stick around until the end to hear Kristine’s first-hand account about how one volunteer day unexpectedly turned into years of financial and board support from the local office of a national cable tv provider.
The key takeaways from my discussion with Kristine are:
#1 Companies look for partners who actually do the work for the causes they believe in;
#2 Networking is ESSENTIAL - relationship building is at the core of building strong partnerships;
#3 Participating with your local chamber of commerce is a GREAT way to meet potential partners; AND
#4 Don’t stop after you’ve received a check - sit down with your partners periodically and find out what is working for them and figure out how you can provide more value to them.
