Achieving Alignment: Harnessing Data To Set Cause Partnership Expectations

Free thanks to sponsorship by For Momentum

Nonprofits and companies often have differing expectations for their cause partnerships. This can lead to misalignment, frustration and, ultimately, partnership breakdown or failure.

In this webinar, Mollye Rhea, Founder & President of For Momentum, will reveal data on what corporate partners want in partnerships. She’s joined by corporate social impact pros, Allison Green, Senior Director of Philanthropy at Insight Global, and Emily Crawford, Director of Impact at Inspire Brands Foundation.

You will learn:

  • How to create a shared vision for the partnership
  • Best practices for building trust and rapport between partners
  • How to identify and address misalignment early on
  • Key ways to measure and track results

This webinar is for anyone involved in cause partnerships, including nonprofits and businesses.
