Partnership in the Non-profit Sector

Conference and Networking

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Quality Inn, Sarnia, Ontario (formerly known as The Village Inn)

Surveys have shown businesses are looking for return on their investment, not just a philanthropic partnership, when they work with not-for-profit organizations (NFPs) and charity groups. They are looking for creative opportunities to showcase their business’ support of the community, their products and services and reach their best audience.

Too often NFPs and charities get stuck in a rut for fundraising and private sector partnerships. Join us on Tuesday, October 6 at The Quality Inn for a day-long conference on developing more effective partnerships with the private sector and engage with the value of partnership within the region‘s NFPs and charities. Spend the day with your peers networking and brainstorming ideas to increase the creativity of fundraising and partnership.

Full participation in the Partnership in the Non-Profit Sector Conference is applicable for 4.75 points in Category 1.B – Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification.

Who should attend: Executive directors, marketing teams, board members, event development staff, senior managers.

Why attend: Fundraising has become more competitive, with fewer businesses being able to donate time, money or products. Learn how to make the most of what private business can do for your NFP or charity. Learn to be comfortable with partnerships and become more creative in your offerings. Learn what the most successful sponsorship managers and fundraisers do differently.
