At Mission Australia we see partnerships as strategic relationships that aim to create mutual value. It is not a quick fix solution with a one size fits all approach. The construction of a successful joint venture in any business is a complex undertaking, and the same applies to working effectively with a charity. Where the relationship is close and a mutual understanding of business vision and goals exists the greater the potential return on investment. Strategic partnerships that deliver real substance are built where the people within both organizations share a bond of trust and respect. This trust serves as the basis for ensuring that a rigorous approach is taken to creating opportunities. It is this style of relationship that enables the incubation of ideas that lead to benefits that neither party could alone realise. We have profiled several of our leading strategic partnerships here. To read more please click on the references below; Freehills “Freehills Foundation’s mission is about equal access to justice.

PricewaterhouseCoopers “To us, the relationship is not just about providing financial support, but valuable expertise, resources, advice and logistical support – leveraging the core competencies of PwC to make a sustainable difference. It is also about our staff developing as responsible leaders, and helping to make a tangible difference.” Rick Millen, PricewaterhouseCoopers Macquarie Macquarie has been in partnership with Mission Australia for more than seven years supporting the organisation’s key social programs, in many capacities. “Over and above the work of Macquarie staff who regularly volunteer their time to help in the delivery of Mission’s services, the Macquarie Group Foundation provides financial support to unique, strategic programs like the Research and Policy Unit. “This Unit guides Mission Australia’s service delivery and supports their work in advocating to governments and influencing policy. Macquarie’s funding also enables Mission Australia to use their funds previously spent on research to be directed to improved community services.” Julie White, Head of Macquarie Group Foundation. |
