We believe that partnerships are incredibly powerful. Partners support, understand and enhance each other. Some partners are easy to identify. Others may not be obvious at all.

At Crecer Strategies, we can help you build long-term, lucrative partnerships.

We help you learn to

• Identify
• Cultivate
• And develop mutually beneficial relationships with partners

We begin by working with you to assess your needs—funds, staff, leadership, community support or greater impact—then we help you identify potential partners. Once we’ve identified a range of possible partners, we help you cultivate and build positive relationships with them. Together we identify how each partner fits into your overall organizational vision and strategy.

We can also help with grant support, grant writing and fundraising campaigns.

We’ve raised millions of dollars, in both cash and in-kind support. We can help you do the same.

Case in Point

Successful long-term partnerships are built on mutually beneficial relationships...

In the late 1990s we partnered with manufacturers of wireless phones to find initiatves they could invest in that made tangible improvements in their communities, while at the same time enhancing their relationships with local telephone companies.

Through one such program, Call to Protect, we worked with manufacturers to donate phones, and in turn, secured relationships with phone companies to donate airtime to provide phones as safety devices to victims of domestic violence. The key to the program's success was that it proved to be beneficial to everyone involved—local domestic violence centers got vital lifelines to their clients, phone companies and manufacturers invested in a program that made a tangible impact on their communities, and they developed deeper relationships with each other, which in turn, helped support their sales structures.

In this case, ensuring that the program made good business sense while at the same time, making a difference in the community was the key to developing a long term, sustainable partnership. More than 10 years after its initiation, Call to Protect continues to flourish.
