Corporate Partnerships Everywhere Conference 2022
“A bend in the road is not the end of the road…
unless you fail to make the turn.” – Helen Keller
We find ourselves in a time of overwhelming challenges. The pandemic, climate change and discrimination are at the top of a long list of significant problems.
These problems are too big for any organization to solve on their own. However, purpose-driven partnerships between companies and charities offer us hope and solutions.
So we need corporate fundraisers to step up and build those partnerships.
We are excited to present our line-up of international and expert speakers who will provide you with cutting edge insight and recommendations on how to build corporate-charity partnerships that make a serious dent in your charity missions.
We hope you can join us on Thursday 24th February 2022.
