What can a school teach the rest of us about building a corporate partnerships program? More than you'd think. This session takes an unexpected case study: a school, and turns it into a practical starting point for any for purpose organisation with limited resources, a defined community, and an appetite to diversify beyond grants and donations.

Over 15 years, Melbourne's Brighton Grammar School turned a small, under-resourced sponsorship function into the education sector's most successful corporate partnership program, generating significant income, in-kind support and genuine community value. We'll unpack how that growth actually happened, what went wrong along the way, and the principles behind it that apply well beyond education, to any sector just getting started.

You'll leave with a clear sense of where to focus first, honest lessons from the journey, and ideas you can put into action straight away.
