Denver, CO, March 30, 2009 — In April, Susan Hyatt, Founder of Business Nonprofit CONNECTIONS, Inc., is offering a comprehensive nonprofit training program, “Recession Proof Resources: How Smart Nonprofit Design Strategic Partnerships with Businesses.”  The program is being offered live in Denver on 4/28 from 1-5pm at the Virginia Village Library or via a 4-part online webinar April 8, 15, 22, and 28 from 10-11 am MT to allow nonprofit participation from anywhere in the country.

Nonprofit organizations are increasingly worried about the sustainability of their organizations and community programs given the current economic situation in the U.S. and its effect on traditional sources of funding.  Susan Hyatt believes, “only thinking “donors and fundraising” is an “old school” mindset and shuts down possibilities for win/win ventures between nonprofits and businesses of all sizes.  Because cash donations are shrinking, this is a great opportunity to think out of the box and deepen relationships between nonprofits and businesses, finding ways for each to bring their respective talents and resources to the table to join forces to address local needs.” 

This program provides nonprofits tips and tools for creating partnerships with mutual benefits.  Specifically attendees will learn what businesses are looking when partnering with nonprofits as well as recent trends in strategic philanthropy, CSR, and the market…and how to tap into them.  Attendees will also learn how to clarify their organizational assets and needs, how to identify potential business partners and “make the ask,” as well as how to structure partnerships to insure success.

Business Nonprofit CONNECTIONS, Inc. provides training and consulting to help businesses and nonprofits collaborate in strategic ways that benefit both organizations while fostering positive social change.  Susan Hyatt has worked with nonprofit organizations nationally for over 20 years helping strengthen their boards, staff, and organizational systems to insure good resource stewardship.  She also has trained nonprofit staff from all 50 states on how to evaluate their services to insure impact and then leverage those results to increase community support.
