Engage Corporate Employees and Strengthen Partnerships

March 26, 2026 | 2:00 pm ET

Fundraising Webinar from 2:00 – 3:15 p.m. ET

Nonprofits that have strong partnerships with companies often engage corporate employees through volunteer programs, events, and other opportunities. When done well, these efforts advance both organizations’ goals — and can lead to deeper ties over time.

Join this 75-minute webinar to learn from two fundraising executives with years of experience forging successful corporate partnerships. They’ll explain why employee engagement matters to companies today, how the landscape has shifted, and which approaches are resonating most with businesses.

They’ll also share practical advice to help you create an employee engagement program that appeals to businesses and meets your nonprofit’s needs, without overextending your team. You’ll learn smart ways to approach a business for the first time, convey the impact of collaborating, and respectfully say “no” to opportunities that aren’t the right fit.

Plus, you’ll get tips for nurturing strong relationships with companies and understanding  when and how to ask for more support.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify potential corporate partners and make initial contact
  • Build employee engagement programs that benefit both organizations
  • Set clear goals and boundaries to ensure partnerships last
