Building Good Partnerships: Corporates and Non-Profits Working Together- Session 3 of The Funding Series

In collaboration with the BforGood Programme - a partnership between the Wakatipu Community Foundation and the Queenstown Business Chamber of Commerce. Please note that spaces are limited.

What does it really mean to be a great partner?

Register your interest to join us for the third session in The Funding Series as we explore what it takes to build meaningful partnerships that deliver real, long-term impact and benefit for both corporate, non-profit and the community.

This session combines a panel discussion with a hands-on workshop, exploring the key ingredients of successful collaboration: aligned values, strategic intent, shared purpose, and mutual benefit.

Facilitated by Vic Crockford, Executive Director of communications and government relations consultancy, Heft, hear from local charities and corporates, including iFLY, Whakatipu Youth Trust, KiwiHarvest, AJ Hackett Bungy, and Southern Lakes Sanctuary as they share their insights and what they've learned about making partnerships work.

This workshop is ideal for established organisations that are either ready to begin partnering with corporates or are already active in this space and looking to deepen their understanding.
