Here are some key factors to consider!

What comes to mind when you hear partnerships?I bet you think of big corporates and organizations. You are partially right! In the NGO space, partnerships are crucial to solving problems. A common misconception we have come across over time is potential partners feel as though their organization is too small to establish partnerships. In some cases, organizations claim not to have financial resources.  Here are a few elements to consider when thinking about your partnership with Busara or others

Common interests

Shared interests are a basic determinant of how much willingness there is for all parties involved to commit to the partnership. Do you align with our values and activities? We would like to partner with you.

Resources

It is not always about money! Money aside, you can contribute to projects by donating your time, human resources, or in-kind items appropriate to the project. Additionally, a lot can be gained from brand association. Is your brand well-known? Partner!

Timeframe

How long is the partnership going to last? Are you willing to commit for that long? Both short-term and long-term partnerships have their advantages.

Impact

We do it all for impact! What change will come due to your involvement? Benefits accrued aside, (e.g recognition) you might want to look at the impact that will be associated with your organization. 

Busara is grateful for all current and potential partners. With you, we help people help  themselves and those around them.
