You know that timeless saying? “There’s no I in team.” Sponsored by Grace is the team and they cannot do it alone. The business partners and supporters of Sponsored by Grace are the back bone of their mission. It is the partnerships that help to enhance Sponsored by Grace’s strengths and improve their weaknesses. These partners play a vital role in the process of pushing forward to maximize the potential impact in the Vista Landing community. These partnerships provide various amounts of skills and resources that Founder Ron Armstrong could have never imagined possible when first starting this journey.
“We can’t do it without people that will help.”
-Ron Armstrong (Founder of Sponsored by Grace)
Partnering with a Nonprofit: How Does It Benefit Your Business and Community?
Creating and establishing a partnership with a nonprofit organization is very beneficial to not only the nonprofit but for the partner’s business as well. In terms of the business partner’s stand point, the partnership creates a wide range of connections through the people interacting with the nonprofit. Providing your business with a whole new audience that might not have been aware of your business prior to the engagement with Sponsored by Grace. As well as boosting the overall morale and image of your company by giving back to your local community. People value companies who help others, by showing your involvement and support this will lead to people thinking more highly of your business. This is a great way for business and nonprofits to come together and work toward the betterment of the overall community. Through the partnership you are benefiting the community by spreading the word and raising awareness for Sponsored by Grace’s mission. This awareness could lead to other potential partners and support that may have other resources to contribute. Even though Ron has made it clear he is not asking for handouts, Sponsored by Grace could benefit from the financial support of other businesses to help create impactful events they may not have otherwise.
