Corporate Partnerships For Small Charities

Corporate Partnerships for small charities: From “we’re not ready” to confident first steps

Corporate partnerships can feel intimidating and out of reach for small and medium-sized charities. Many organisations worry they are too small, lack the right networks, or simply don’t know where to start.

Join this practical and supportive Lunch & Learn to explore the barriers charities face and unpack the common myths about corporate partnerships. Using real examples and case studies, Maya will guide you through clear, achievable first steps to build confidence and momentum in a sustainable, values-led way. You’ll also discover what businesses really want, where small charities can start, and how to sidestep common pitfalls.

The session will be practical, supportive and accessible, particularly for small charities with limited dedicated fundraising capacity.

Join Maya for an interactive Lunch & Learn where you will:

• Better understand the common barriers to corporate partnerships – and how to approach/overcome them more confidently.
• Gain clarity on what businesses are typically looking for in charity partnerships.
• Identify practical first steps suitable for small charities with limited capacity.
• Feel clearer and more confident about where to begin.

You’ll leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence, and practical next steps you can begin implementing straight away. And, as always, you’ll have a chance to ask questions.
