This Toolkit is written for SMEs that are interested in partnering with community organisations rather than supporting community causes through cheque book giving and/or donations.
The Toolkit provides a simple eight step guide and a corresponding set of tools that will allow SMEs to establish a partnership and secure the benefits of the partnership. Included are case studies of ten SMEs from a range of industries, sizes and locations and with different partnership arrangements and experiences. The case studies aim to provide useful insights into existing partnerships – the implementation process, motivation, successes and challenges - will be of most interest to those businesses just beginning the partnership journey.
