Valued Partners on successful business-charity collaboration

Valued Partners on successful collaboration

Following our award-winning three year partnership with Sky, we’re sharing our joint ten golden rules for successful business-charity collaboration.

Making cross-sector partnerships great

No one sector can address the growing sustainability challenge and new cross sector collaborations are required to push each other and discover innovative solutions.

Our prenup reinvigorates perceptions of business charity partnerships, boosting confidence in their potential by demonstrating value to both parties in terms of innovation, strategy and growth.

Prenup top tip taster:

Avoid one night stands Play the dating game to ensure you find the right strategic partner with aligned values – be careful not to compromise your morals or inhibit growth by resisting unusual or challenging collaborations.

Openness, honesty and equality are essential Although time is required to build confidence and trust, it is important to respect, listen and challenge each other to maximize opportunities and growth. Don't let money be the overriding force.

Relish the unexpected Businesses and charities are culturally different but that’s a good thing and source for new, innovative ideas and unexpected learnings.
