Non-Profit Organisations

What does partnership mean for non profits?

Being registered by Robin Hood Foundation puts you right in front of decision makers in business. (Although we recommend you always continue your own fundrasing and partnership initiatives) as we only present you if a business we are working with is interested in your sector.
We can help you communicate your common goals with prospective business partners.
Business partnerships can mean more than money. They can deliver board members, skilled business coaches and sometimes donated goods.
Best of all, Robin Hoods business partners are companies looking to make their non profit partnership an alliance of strategic intent that could enhance your sustainability.

To register your organisation on our database - please go to the non profit database log in part of this site, enter your details and submit it.

What happens next?

We work with our business partners to showcase to them appropriate non profit partners.
Should your agency be selected then our Non Profit Director will contact you and come and see you.
If you then become registered by the Foundation, and chosen by one of our business partners as a partner, we assist you to broker that relationship to meet both parties needs.
Robin Hood Foundation focuses on making maximum social impact to the lives of New Zealanders specifically in the Health, Youth and Welfare sectors.

from your sector

We need an understanding of what we have in common with business, rather than what makes us different.
There are real gaps in social services, lack of business management training and strategic leadership skills.
