About this session
COVID-19 has hit business and charities hard. However, partnerships between these two sectors have never been so vital.

This includes a major corporate partner who has raised its game in response. She will also share examples of how she has created exciting new partnerships quicker than ever. Jonathan will share valuable insight from over 100 brainstorms with charities around the world. He will also share findings from ground-breaking new research launched in July 2020. Ultimately, Catherine and Jonathan will share recommendations on how to seize partnership opportunities in this new era.
