Your ability to deliver on increasingly sophisticated donor  partnerships is one of the keys to bigger budgets and longer-term commitments. Corporations in particular pride themselves on taking bold action with a clear understanding of how risks will be managed. The close proximity of CSR initiatives and the integrity of the corporate brand drives these performance expectations even higher.

​

Most large institutional donors typically don’t take on highly visible projects unless they are professionally managed, so be open with them about the specifics of your implementation plans and ask for their feedback before, during and after the engagement. Demonstrating a sincere commitment to accountability and quality implementation is one area where your organization can differentiate itself.
