What Do Corporate Partnerships Look Like? | Streetwork

Learn how corporate partnerships support Streetwork through donations, volunteering & fundraising, creating mutual benefits for businesses & youth.

Streetwork is a self-funded charity where all our revenue is derived primarily from donations from individuals, corporations, private ancillary funds (PAFs) & grants, and some income from events. Corporate partnerships have always seemed somewhat mysterious, & developing a strong and successful partnership isn’t as straightforward as writing a grant proposal. However, the potential for a partnership between a corporate & for-purpose organisation could, & should, deliver mutual benefit to all.

 The most common forms of partnerships that potentially deliver more funding to a charity include:

* Corporate Partnerships – here, partners donate money, materials, or products.

* Matching Gift – employee charitable donations are matched

* Corporate Volunteering – offering workers paid time to volunteer

* Corporate partner fundraising - donors at an event or fundraising

TurnKey Promotions - Australia has developed their own ‘Giving Back’ program & as part of this program, all clients are asked to contribute a small portion of their monthly order to StreetWork. Diana O'Cobhthaigh, Managing Director, said, “All her clients have agreed to be part of the program & everyone is happy to be supporting more vulnerable young people to turn their lives around.”
