Creating Corporate and Other Nonprofit In-Kind Partnerships

Donations may not always be in the form of money. As nice as money is, in-kind donations such as space for events, professional expertise, and administrative services are not only welcome but valuable. Reduced overhead can directly affect an organization's bottom line. Both nonprofits and businesses can find creative ways to serve one another. Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts has created partnerships with fellow nonprofits with which it hosts events or educational programs. Artistic Mag has worked with several partnerships which engaged employees and the community in creating other new partnerships through various types of communication and marketing tools. Come listen to how in-kind donations can strengthen relationships among nonprofits, corporate donors, and individual supporters, as well as providing an excellent marketing resource.
