A partner is an individual, nonprofit, government entity or company outside your organization that can help you achieve your organization’s mission by providing an asset (services, advocacy, expertise, funding) you do not have internally. Partners can increase awareness about your mission, bolster your reputation/credibility. They also provide expertise, market reach and ideas your organization does not have access to internally. A true partnership opens doors to growth and change for your organization by spreading your message to new audiences.
