Business citizenship

Join Manchester Community Central for this event all about helping businesses to work with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in a mutually beneficial way.

Manchester Community Central's purpose is to encourage, support and develop VCSE organisations and local people to have a real influence over the places and communities in which they live.

This MASTERCLASS will look at how to build and create successful corporate partnerships for your charity.

Corporate fundraising is an area that a lot of charities are looking at to build sustainable income. But building those partnerships, talking about money, and negotiation can feel uncomfortable for many, meaning even the charities that get in the room with companies often leave value on the table. As a result, many potential partnerships never reach their full potential.

Join Pro-Manchester for an insightful event designed for corporate leaders, CSR/ESG professionals, and nonprofit organisations seeking to build meaningful, impactful partnerships. This event explores how companies select charity partners, what charities can do to stand out, and how both sides can create lasting, mutually beneficial relationships.
