FREE MASTERCLASS
5 March 2025
1-2pm EST
Learn proven techniques to elevate your fundraising efforts in just 60 minutes—live with Heather Nelson, Corporate Fundraising Expert.
Spending hours on corporate outreach with little to show for it?
If you are…
struggling to get responses from the companies you pitch to
unsure how to align your proposals with what corporations actually want
feeling like your corporate fundraising is a time-consuming guesswork process
You’re not alone.
These are common struggles faced by corporate fundraisers, and they prevent countless organizations from forming the truly impactful partnerships that could transform their work.
In this exclusive session, we’ll uncover the 3 most common mistakes non-profit fundraisers make when building corporate partnerships—and the actionable strategies you need to avoid them.
Thank-you for a truly wonderful webinar chat this afternoon. I can’t tell you how timely this was for us as we navigate the specific details of a sponsor agreement. You’ve adjusted my thinking!
By the end of this 60-minute workshop, you’ll know how to
- Stop relying on transactional approaches (and build meaningful relationships instead)
- Create partnership strategies that truly align with corporate priorities
- Ditch the “who you know” approach (there’s a better way to find corporate partners)
Plus, you’ll walk away with practical strategies you can implement immediately.
I really enjoyed your education session. I have a few ideas already and feel reinvigorated with corporate sponsorships—rather than trying to hide from the work.
