Moab Business Alliance Initiative

Profit/Non-Profit Partnerships

Vision

Create positive partnerships between non-profit and for-profit businesses that will enable both sectors to expand services and reach wider audiences. A bridge between these communities is needed to make both more successful.

 

Goal

Encourage non-profit and for-profit businesses to share resources and develop mutually beneficial strategies and plans.

 

How This Initiative Fits the Mission

The Moab Business Alliance encourages small business stimulation and growth and creative ways of helping businesses overcome challenges and develop meaningful partnerships that will increase business capacity and effectiveness.

 

Discussion

How can non-profit and for-profit businesses become more aligned? What barriers currently exist and how can we move past these barriers? How can both kinds of businesses help one another become better able to accomplish their goals? Many non-profit businesses can be more involved in the community than they currently are. One possibility is to create a “Good Corporate Citizen Award” for businesses making outstanding contributions to the community.
