Today I launched Business Nonprofit CONNECTIONS’ 2009 survey for nonprofits to collect information about their partnerships with businesses. I hope to add to the vast amount of resources I already have on the subject tand use it to inspire both nonprofits and businesses to get more invovled with each other. The survey gauges nonprofits’ sense of their own effectiveness in six areas related to business partnerships. It is also designed to collect information about nonprofit best practices in partnering with businesses, challenges experienced, tips and strategies for successful partnering, the types of benefits/resources received, and any impact of current economic conditions.
If you are with a nonprofit, I invite you to click the link and complete this short survey. I appreciate your time. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB228VWVAZBC4

I am excited to offer these updated trainings next month on my all time favorite topic – strategic partnerships between nonprofits and business – as it is an especially important topic for our times.
Attending the Nonprofit Summit in Denver this week, I was reminded again how only thinking “donors and fundraising” is an “old school” mindset and shuts down possibilities for win/win ventures. This workshop provides great tips and tools for partnerships with mutual benefits and is a MUST attend for nonprofit staff and board members.
Then Recession Proof Resources: How Smart Nonprofit Design Strategic Partnerships with Businesses is DEFINITELY for you!
