Non-profit cooperation enables organisations to work together to achieve even greater gains toward bettering their community and the globe.
When organisations are working toward similar goals, collaboration may lower costs, reinforce a standard message, and overall have a greater effect.
Collaboration with another non-profit organisation, whether local or national, may give several benefits to your Non-Profit Organisation’s (NPO’s) mission. Explore how The Buddy Bag Foundation, providing a bag of essential items to children in emergency care, collaborated with Givey, an online donations platform serving the forgotten 95% of small charities in the UK.
In their podcast, Ruby Illing from The Givey Community podcast visits The Buddy Bag Foundation during a local Buddy Backpack event. Together with Karen Williams OBE, CEO, and Founder of The Buddy Bag Foundation, along with this month’s BBF Volunteer of the month, Jane Probert, they walk through all the items included in The Buddy Bag Foundation’s ‘bags of love.

Advantages of non-profit partnership:
1. It reduces costs
Cost savings are one of the most significant benefits of working with another non-profit organisation. When cash and resources are pooled for a campaign or initiative, the impact might be twice as large as if undertaken alone.
Joint purchasing, sharing office supplies, transportation, building leasing charges, and joint staff training allow both firms to save money.
Additionally, it cuts down on the time and resources needed to organise a successful event.
2. Bring about fresh concepts
Of course, working with a new organisation brings in new people, new experiences, and fresh perspectives—the ideal mix for many new ideas.
Collaboration with another organisation can help to spotlight solutions to current issues. You can help address these challenges and have a more significant effect by combining your talents and resources.
3. It helps to create networks
In the end, working with other charities and organisations expands your network of like-minded NGO experts. This network can provide several chances for your company or even yourself!
The more the awareness of the charity, the greater its reach, reinforcing your message and, perhaps, leading to an increase in contributions. Your network may also be generous enough to share your material with their networks, extending visibility and reach even further.
For example, if your non-profit organisation serves a specific demographic, but another NPO serves a different client, non-profit cooperation is an excellent approach to reaching out to those people and connecting with them through both organisations.
Why use digital fundraising as the primary source of funding?
Digital fundraising refers to fundraising that utilizes digital technology, which typically involves online fundraising.
Donors and donation money are more plentiful. The Association of Fundraising Professionals reported a 2% increase in net donors and a 5.3 per cent increase in dollars donated between 2014 and 2015. A significant source of income is online fundraising.
According to statistics, 54% of donors worldwide prefer to give online, and online giving is increasing yearly. It increased by 21% in 2020, with a total increase of more than 32% in the previous three years!
