Workshop 1 - Building relationships with partners and donors

Increase support opportunities

Are you looking to grow support from the business community or donors?

Are you keen to start conversations with potential supporters?

Do you spend your time on 'cold marketing' in the hope that it will attract support?

Attracting support starts with a conversation. Our workshops help you get conversations started with businesses and the community, that in time can lead to a strong relationship. We explore the use of an open and honest conversational style that builds trust and helps to find common ground. We look forward to sharing this journey with you!
