Purpose Meets Profit: Cross-Sector Partnerships to Enact Social Change

Nonprofit organizations already know the importance of partnerships and how difficult lone pursuits can be. – Without the extra funds to invest in big marketing and advertising initiatives, connections with for-profit corporations are often necessary.

For-profit organizations also know the reciprocal benefits of partnering with nonprofits or other agencies that represent social good. – Any corporation involved with bettering our world in some way has the potential to leverage this information in order to increase the value of their brand. Without the proper strategy, however, these cross-sector partnerships can hold minimal value to those involved.
