Corporate Partnership Masterclass: 4-Part Series
Successful corporate partnerships unlock transformational capacity for social impact organisations — bringing funding, pro bono skills, employee engagement and new networks. This masterclass teaches you how to turn corporate interest into long-term, high-value partnerships that expand your reach and amplify impact.
You will learn:
- What corporates really want (and don’t want) from charity partnerships — and how to position your offer accordingly.
- How to align your partnership proposition with current business priorities so it becomes a strategic solution, not a nice-to-have.
- How to build a focused prospect list and qualification framework to target the partners most likely to convert.
- How to craft and deliver persuasive, evidence-led pitches that win decisions from senior stakeholders.
- How to turn early wins into long-term relationships that scale impact.
Takeaways:
- Practical templates and a prospecting framework.

"We engaged 2into3 to assist in the development of our inaugural corporate partnership strategy, and we found their expertise and professionalism to be exceptional from the outset. They demonstrated a profound understanding of our needs throughout the project.

Our momentum sessions covered everything from identifying key business sectors that align with our Charities mission to developing and pitching ideas to company CEOs, equipping me with the skills, knowledge and confidence to approach prospects and secure new strategic partnerships, further raising funds and awareness for rhino conservation."
