During the COVID-19 crisis, we have seen an acceleration of a much-needed collaboration between the commercial and charity sector— for the two to work together based on mutual interest, to help solve real-world problems. This has highlighted an era of ‘convergence’ in which new-form partnerships have the power to create value for both commercial and not-for-profit organisations to help the world prosper.

In GOOD’s event on ‘Convergence & Collaboration’ we will:

1. Explain the driving force behind this convergence of interest in the landscape

2. Share the new form of collaboration between commercial business and not-for-profits – identifying how value is created

3. Present best practice learnings and insights on partnerships and collaborations for inspiration

4. Offer some practical ‘do’s and don’ts’ for businesses seeking to collaborate with a charity
