This document discusses corporate partnerships with non-profits and charities. It highlights that for non-profits, cash remains important but access to corporate contacts and innovation is becoming more so. For businesses, such partnerships enhance their reputation and credibility. Reasons for partnerships include them becoming more strategic and both sectors better understanding the value each can provide beyond just money. The partnerships are helping businesses improve their understanding of social and environmental issues.
