To show recognition to volunteers or even gain more support outside of the organisation, you can establish partnerships with small businesses to provide incentives to your volunteers or aid in more resources. This partnership can exist long-term or seasonal depending on what these partners are willing to provide.

 

An example of an event-based partnership could be when running an event during volunteer week where a partnership with an FnB service can provide food to serve as an encouragement for continued volunteering. This also can give corporations a chance to participate in their CSR.
